Artist’s Comments

Hey this is my first version of Vista Desktop Orb
It’s for all those people who don’t like messy desktops
And are sick of using the Application launcher
Of the sidebar …………. Just click on the program icon and a nice
Vista Orb will appear on your desktop you can change
Your wallpaper it will stay there don’t worry click
On the Orb and many icons will appear
Many improvements will follow in the future
Enjoy
