Found this Yod'm 3D software while browsing the web. At first I didnt see a use for it then I realised I can use it while playing SWG in windowed mode.

So now i can swap between SWG clients and my browser by simply hitting a hotkey and rotating the desktop cube.

Very simple program and much easier to use than SphereXP or Topdesk.

By default, the rotation of the cube is done with the keys CTRL+SHIFT+Arrows :


CTRL+SHIFT+Left/Right = Next/prev desktop

CTRL+SHIFT+Up = Activate and show a "far" view of the current desktop, Left and right to turn the cube

CTRL+SHIFT+Down = Activate and show a "near" view of the current desktop, Left and right to turn the cube

Hold down CTRL+SHIFT to use the mouse to turn the cube.
( The rotation is possible only horizontally )


To move a windows to another desktop :


Click on the title bar of the window (not maximized if possible), hold down
Push CTRL+SHIFT to activate the cube, hold down
When the cube is activated, move the window on left or right
Release CTRL+SHIFT

To change the wallpaper of a desktop :

Just use Windows !
For each desktop, change the wallpaper using the windows display setting.

Switch to another application :

Click on the Yod'm 3D icon in the taskbar, the list of the windows opened in other desktop appear.
Click on the application to switch to the desktop.
