If you are bored with your old Windows desktop design, icons, taskbar, and the like, DesktopX comes to your aid. This novelty software program allows you to modify and change your desktop's look and feel in almost any way. Changing your wallpaper, replacing your traditional icons with animated and funny images, or inserting little helpful applications are now very easy tasks thanks to DesktopX.

This program manages basically two types of elements: objects and widgets. Objects act as part of the design you are creating, and may include images, animations, data, etc. They mainly replace the shortcuts, providing easy access to your applications. DesktopX includes a set of predefined objects that you can use in your designs, pointing to functions like DVD, E-mail, My Computer, Object Folder, or Microsoft Outlook and Word. However, you can also download additional ones from Internet.

Widgets, on the other hand, might be considered as subsets of objects. They are actually applets or "little applications" that can be independently placed on any part of your design, and which work by themselves, providing different kinds of services. As with objects, you can make use of some predefined widgets, including 80's Arcade (a set of classical games), a DesktopX Welcome, a Calendar, a Clock, a Picture Frame, a To-do list, a Unit Converter, a System Volume Control and a weather forecast, among many others. You are also allowed to download more widgets from Internet, as well.

Finally, you can set your work area size, define an image or a solid color as wallpaper, change the minimum and maximum screen resolution, and set the colors and fonts of your labels. When your design is ready, you can save it as a new desktop, load and unload it, configure it to automatically launch itself when Windows starts, and modify it at any time.

It is very funny to design, create, and run your own customized desktops, and DesktopX provides all the functions you need to achieve this. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most suitable programs out there for desktop design.
