Can I make my own themes for Tactile 3D?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Not yet. But soon! Currently a theme building kit is being developed (it's September 2006 right now). The kit will include an exporter for the Blender modeller as well as the tools and scripts necessary to build a custom theme for Tactile 3D. A scripting API may also be exposed at a later date.

What is Tactile 3D?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Tactile 3D is an application that, in its very simplest form, takes over the functionality of a file browser. It gives you access to your files, folders, and drives in a 3D environment where you see them as various models. The space you end up working in is much more visually stimulating as well as more natural for organization. See similar questions...

Where's the "tactile" in Tactile 3D?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Tactile 3D supports Immersion® TouchSense enabled devices. One such device is the Logitech® iFeel mouse that offers Tactile 3D feedback to its user. Feeling different textures and effects as you navigate through information space is fully supported. See similar questions...

Is Tactile 3D free?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Can I browse the web with Tactile 3D?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
No. Maybe the next product. However, if you have any URL files that point to websites, they will display a thumbnail of the site on the model. See similar questions...

Do my files have to be registered with Tactile 3D for them to be visible?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
No. Nothing special need be done. Tactile 3D integrates with the shell in a natural way, and you'll be able to see all the files on your hard-drive right away. In fact, if you manipulate other files, folders, or drives while Tactile 3D is open, the changes will be noticed by Tactile 3D as they ocurr. See similar questions...

Can I make my own themes?

Is Tactile 3D practical in terms of CPU usage?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Absolutely. When Tactile 3D doesn't have focus it goes to sleep. It basically uses 0% in this state; or you can set it to update at a slower fps. The neat thing is, it's still very responsive. It's a very light sleep. If, for example, a window is dragged over-top of Tactile 3D, it responds immediately by redrawing. See similar questions...

Will Tactile 3D remember where I position files for my CDs?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Yes, it will even remember different audio CDs for you, so you can arrange your songs differently for each disc. For example, you could sort different styles of music in different sorting arrangements. Tactile 3D also implements the CDDB protocol and can retrieve album and song information over the internet.

Tactile 3D is running really slowly. How do I fix this?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Do you have an AGP on your motherboard? If so get the latest drivers for it. It could make a huge difference. Additionally make sure you have recent drivers for your graphics card. You may also derive some benefit by reducing your desktop colour bitdepth from 32 (true colour) to 16 (high colour) or reducing the resolution. If none of this gives you a reasonable framerate maybe you probably need a faster graphics card. See similar questions...

What happens if the filesystem changes underneath Tactile 3D?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
If windows is able to notice the change then Tactile 3D will too. Unfortunately some changes are undetectable. Changes to files on floppy drives, for example, don't trigger Windows change notification objects. Short of polling nothing can be done about this. The next time the user enters a group on one of these devices the changes are registerd. Well, in some ways Tactile 3D improves upon simple file operations. See similar questions...

Why doesn't Winamp remain on-top when Tactile 3D is in full-screen mode?

Tactile 3D Interface - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
If you want Winamp to remain on-top of Tactile 3D when in full-screen mode you need to change the following Winamp setting. Goto Options->Preferences->General Preferences and make sure "Disable always on top while fullscreen applications are focused" is unchecked. Ctrl-A (always on top) will then work even for full-screen applications. See similar questions...

Once you are running Google Earth Plus, you can choose [Add] --> [Polygon] from the top of the screen. You can then select points on the map to have Google create a polygon from. this point, it's a flat polygon laying on the ground.
