Has anyone tried Madotate?

http://madotate.en.softonic.com/

I never have, and am not presently running 98. It seems that I ran across something similar a few year ago. Any ideas?

The author's site is Japanese (if anyone's interested):

Just tried it in Win98SE. Basically it works, sort of, but it has issues with multi-monitor environments. Windows from secondary monitor jump and stay on primary monitor when minimized to 3D.

Otherwise it's a neat application. And sources appear to be available, compilable with Borland C++ Builder as mentioned on the home page. So maybe someone could play with them.

I tried it some time ago in Windows 98SE...
Cool eye candy, but it was unstable and after a few 3D window operations I generally got an application error or BSOD.

There is an english translation here: http://www.neowin.ne...howtopic=165513

After use a long while back, I found that using the emulated transparency option in Madotate tends to cause significant resource leaks.
