DesktopX objects and widgets

[Acriku]

There is an incredible program called DesktopX that allows you to easily customize your desktop with various themes, widgets (nifty programs for things such as displaying CPU/memory info, To-Do lists, calendar, games, etc), and objects. I just installed it today and it's incredible how useful it is and fun! It doesn't cost a thing to download, however there is a version that you would pay for, with more options of course.

My favorite widget is the To-Do list, and the fish that swims around your desktop.

Anybody try this out before?

Sounds good, but it might slow down the computer (as it would have to startup with windows)

A to-do list sounds interesting though, unless you have Microsoft Outlook.

EDIT - It has widgets! I thought those were not real and only in Operations Management problems. :D

Yeh but you've gotta understand... a computer is not a car.

I don't need a 'dashboard' telling me how much CPU/memory/free space I have left.

But the fish that swims around your desktop, they should release that seperately. :P

Crusher, you can pick and choose what you want to run, and what you want to run at start-up if any. The widgets, once DesktopX is installed, are run using .exe's individually.

Performance is an issue Andrew, but I'm not sure how much it slows down a computer of low processor speed/RAM, it is unnoticeable on my computer.
