First thing that's really bad with this program is that when I click the show desktop icon to go to the desktop all the icons revert back to standard ones in their old places. Then when I open a new windows they suddently pop back to the IconX setup.
Then what's the deal with animations and mouse overs and aways? It's really nice, but the way they work is too annoying. If I come up to the icon from below it will animate twice, once for touching the label and once for the icon instead of counting that as the same. So it looks pretty bad with it flickering or resizing twice even though you didn't move your mouse away and back. Then if you drag you cursor back and forth across an icon several times it will play an animation for everytime you did instead of knowing to stop now that your cursor is away.
Another bug is dragging things into folders, the icons you have selected will jump to random places on the desktop after you let go then disappear into the folder. It also breaks the spring folder app.
Renaming is more annoying because you can't highlight. Creating a new folder it won't have it pre-highlighted for a new name, and you have to use back space to remove what's there instead of typing over it.
When I have it running on my dual setup with one monitor lower than the main screen it will cause my startbar to disappear if I don't have a window open or something.
I know it's beta, but it's got a lot of work to be done. It just doesn't change things for the better besides graphics.
Is there anyway to add shadows to icons without the need for this app?
