DesktopX is a program that lets users build their own desktops. It does this by giving users access to desktop objects. These objects can come in all sizes and shapes. They can have scripts attached to them, they can be combined together to form mini applications or turned into an entire desktop.

When a user loads DesktopX 3, they are presented with the DesktopX Manager. This enables users to quickly access the part of DesktopX they want. Specifically, it lets people who want to use content (objects, widgets, and desktops) created for DesktopX be able to do so without interacting with the portions of DesktopX designed for people who want to develop content with DesktopX.


In fact, the DesktopX Client version of DesktopX ($14.95) does not include the “Create” option on the DesktopX Manager – it is purely for using DesktopX created content.

DesktopX comes with a host of high quality objects, widgets, and desktops for users to try out. But they can get more on WinCustomize: Your home for Vista and XP themes, skins, wallpapers, dreamscenes, icons and everything you need to customize your pc. There are 3 types of DesktopX content users and developers deal with: Objects, Widgets, and Desktops.

Desktop Objects

At the most basic level, DesktopX gives Windows users the ability to have live objects on their desktops. These live objects can be of any size or shape. They can also respond to user input or system events. This makes them ideal for creating “super icons” that can be everything from simple system monitoring to animated icons.

For example, creating an animated “icon” (object) with DesktopX is very easy. A user creates a series of frames in their favorite graphics package, saves it as a .BMP or .PNG and then in DesktopX points to that image and tells DesktopX how many frames of animation there are and how fast to play it. The user now has an animated icon. Similarly, DesktopX objects can respond to messages. Instead of “My Computer” being merely a static icon, a DesktopX object of my computer might change color depending on CPU temperature or disk space available. The email icon might change how it looks or play a sound when there is email waiting
