Shelf Design Contest and a New DesktopShelves Release

If you know your way around an image editor such as Pixelmator, Photoshop, or Gimp here's a challenge for you:

Design a shelf for DesktopShelves and submit it to the Shelf Design Contest for a chance to win an iPod shuffle (best design) or one of 10 free licenses for DesktopShelves (random drawing).

Submissions are accepted until Sunday, Oct. 23rd. BIG Thank you! to iconpaper.org for helping organizate the contest.

What's new in DesktopShelves version 1.4?

This version comes withe top three requested features:

  1. Adjustable shelf sizes
  2. Adjustable space between shelf items
  3. Sortable shelves
  4. Bonus: drag and drop between shelves

A few people had reported problems where DesktopShelves once in a while would stop responding ("beach ball syndrome"). This should be fixed now, too.

Below are a few impressions of the new features.
