DesktopX, an application developed by the Stardock Corporation, can do three things: it can change the way your desktop looks by loading a theme, it can put various objects on your desktop, and it can load and display widgets on your desktop. This application comes in handy if you want to customize and enhance your desktop using experience.

To run DesktopX on your PC, it must meet the following system requirements: 256MB of RAM, 20MB of free disk space, monitor capable of 1024x768 resolution, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 operating system. Installing DesktopX is a simple process: download an executable that’s 11.9Mb in size, run it, follow the on-screen instructions presented by the setup wizard.

On the left hand side on DesktopX’s interface you are presented with buttons for loading widgets, loading objects, and loading desktops (themes). You are also presented with a button for creating new or modifying existing widgets, objects, and themes. When you hover your mouse on a button, a brief explanation is presented in the right hand side.

To open a widget, just hit the Load Widget button and then the Load Widgets button – you will be presented with the widgets that are included by default in the application. Double click a widget and it will be loaded automatically. If you want to get more widgets, more are available for download online.
The same goes for loading objects and different desktops. Hit the Load Object or Load Desktop button, pick an available object or desktop, get more from the web if you want to.

With DesktopX, you have several cool means at your disposal to customize your desktop.

Pros

The system requirements are so low that even low spec PCs will have no problem running DesktopX. Use the application to change the desktop, load objects, and load widgets. The application comes with a selection of widgets, objects, and desktops – more are available for download online. Modify and create your own widgets, objects, desktops.

Cons

None that I could think of.
