This is My Dream App. It does not yet exist, but you can help make this dream come true!

~~~

Introducing DeskMorph, an app that revolutionizes desktop customization. DeskMorph allows you to add nearly any visual object to your desktop, such as a photo, text, or even a movie! Shape, size, and tilt any object to your liking. Enable any of your objects to execute an action with a click, whether it be launching an app or changing the current track in iTunes. Ever wanted to drag those widgets out of your dashboard and place it on your desktop? Well, now you can.

Features ~

1) Add visual objects to desktop (photo, movies, text, etc)
2) Morph an object to your liking (size, tilt, transform)
3) Tie the object to an action with a click (launch app, control iTunes, scripts)
4) Hide desktop icons
5) Add dashboard widgets to your desktop
6) Create as many desktops as you’d like
7) Set a unique desktop per Space (Leopard feature)
8) Deskposé – Bring desktop to focus with a click (for those too lazy to reach for F11)
9) Install plugins for further functionality!

Ideas ~

1) Install plugins made by others (Such as listing current iTunes track)
2) Make your own iTunes controller! (Custom graphics & positioning)
3) Make an object open a set of files (For example, open Photoshop, Transmit, and SubEthaEdit for web design)
4) Use core animation for image AND animation effects (Clicking an object for an action could que the ripple effect)
