Description of DesktopX

If you march to a different drummer and you want to individualize your Windows desktop, this program is worth considering. With it you can apply themes to your desktop.

You can use this program to create desktops too. For instance, if you're a lurking Mac OS zealot, a Linuxhead, or an OS/2 fan, this program can help you make your Windows desktop look like those operating systems' desktops. (Note that such changes are cosmetic only.)

This networkable program is also good for more practical uses, as it can create objects that act as small applications that work within the desktop. For example, you can have all the desktops on your network show a list of employees, and when a user clicks on an employee's icon, an instant messaging program automatically opens for contacting that person. You can put up a kid-friendly desktop with no URL-line--just links to the sites you choose. DesktopX can monitor resources on your desktop too, by showing a pie chart depicting how much space is available on your company's network.

DesktopX also lets you add mini-programs called "widgets" to your desktop. These often use less memory than comparable applications.

DesktopX comes in three flavors: Client ($15), Standard ($25), and Pro ($70). The Client version allows you to load alternative desktops, objects, and widgets. The Standard version also allows you to create your own looks and mini-programs. Finally, the Pro version gives you the ability to export objects as widgets, sharing or selling your creations.
