Ave’s 3D UserPic
longhorn style getting closer
Description
In the old longhorn 4xxx days, the startmenu user picture was more animated as it was today. Today, we get a cheap alpha-fading effect when you hover over an item: the user picture simply blends with the icon for a while.
Back in the days, the user picture was actually rotating when you had the start menu opened. Andreas Verhoeven’s “3D User Picture” tries to achieve that effect.
