The Magic Desktop Premium Suite changes your wallpaper, windows
icons, task bar and program windows to give Windows a colorful,
more playful look. This inexpensive suite requires having the $50
Object
Desktop 2007 program already installed.
Alternatively, you can purchase the Windowblinds 6 ($20),
IconPackager 3.2 ($15) and ThemeManager 2.50c (free) sub-components
of Object Desktop separately from stardock.com. Object Desktop (or
its subcomponents) allows for using a wide range of other free and
paid suites, themes and Windows customizations.
The flashy Magic suite adds a sparkling animation to a new,
partially transparent Start menu, along with a curved and colorful
border for all your windows. You’ll also see a yellow and blue
rounded taskbar, new wallpaper, and new icons for things like
Internet Explorer and the Recycle Bin.
Magic also adds optional clock and weather report desktop gadgets.
And if you have trouble figuring out how to set the weather gadget
to your own area (like we did), click the displayed city name.
