3D-Space VFS 1.4: 3D Launcher, Dock and Finder
3D-Space VFS combines Launcher, Dock and Finder features with elegant 3D drawers to give you easy point-and-click access to all of your favorite files and applications, without having to sift through folders.
- Easy visual launcher / dock.

A flick of the mouse and a vast three dimensional landscape appears. You see all your favorite items, neatly presented and waiting for you to click the one you want. Never before has it been so easy to quickly access so many files and applications! Take a look at this very cool screen capture!
Each 3D space offers 20 times the capacity of the Mac OS X Dock, and is fully customizable. Your icons can now be presented exactly the way you prefer, in pleasing arrangements that also make them easy to spot.
More than a dock, 3D-Space VFS lets you navigate your existing folders and view their contents as 3D spaces. And full drag-and-drop is available so you can perform traditional Finder operations such as moving, copying, deleting and renaming files and folders.
All this and more from drawers that are always available and take almost zero screen space and CPU use while standing by. Start enjoying the benefits of tomorrow's 3D user interface on your Mac today!
