Desktop 3D Ball

Desktop 3D Ball is a lightweight desktop enhancement program developed specifically for helping you place a soccer ball on your screen that jumps around in different directions and interacts with the mouse cursor.

Simple design

You are welcomed by a clean and intuitive layout that allows you to get an idea about how to work with the dedicated parameters in a short amount of time. The tool does not offer support for a graphical user interface.
You can find the utility running quietly in the system tray without disturbing your work with popup notes and annoying message notifications. You can access its dedicated parameters via the system tray. Although you cannot appeal to a proper help manual, you are offered access to a ‘Readme’ file that includes short descriptions about the application’s capabilities.

How it works

Desktop 3D Ball is designed for football enthusiasts. The three-dimensional soccer ball that can be placed on your desktop reacts to touches of a mouse pointer and edges of the screen.
The soccer ball is disabled when a full screen mode is activated. What’s more, you are allowed to show or hide the ball via the system tray. The tool reveals the ball in an orthogonal projection, and offers support for textures and lighting.
Tests have pointed out that the program carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the system is not hampered. You can keep it running in the background.

Final remarks

To sum things up, Desktop 3D Ball has to offer nothing more than a simplistic software solution for helping you play soccer straight from the comfort of your screen. It comes in handy especially if you got tired of the same old desktop looks, and want to add an animated and interactive item on the screen. The simplistic feature package makes it suitable especially for less experienced users.
