DesktopX is a
program for
Windows that lets you customize your
desktop interface by handling true
objects on the desktop. One example of a desktop object is an animated, alpha-blended shortcut. You can also create your own
taskbar and
system tray replacements, customizing their look and feel, or download them.
One of the greatest things about DesktopX is its
modularity. You can download pre-made themes, but you can also just download objects, for example, a
WinAmp player, or a spinning
Transformers logo, with one side
Decepticon, and the other
Autobot.
While it does some of the things that
Litestep does, I think (I'm new to both), it's much easier to use because there's no pseudo-programming involved, it's all
Window based.
DesktopX 1.0, which is shareware, was just recently released (7/16/01), and is available at
CNet's download.com.
