Posted on: Tuesday, 19 April 2005, 15:00 CDT

LIVONIA, Mich., April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Software developer Stardock, the world's leading developer of Windows enhancement software, announced Object Desktop 2005 today.

Object Desktop is a suite of desktop enhancement utilities that enable users to customize virtually every aspect of the Windows environment. When these programs are put together, it is like having a future version of Windows today.

The programs that make up Object Desktop include:

-- WindowBlinds: A customization utility that enables users to change the

look and feel of the Windows graphical user interface (GUI) with their

own "visual styles".

-- IconPackager: A program that allows users to change all of their icons

in a single action by applying a "package" of icons.

-- DesktopX: A program that extends the Windows desktop to support true

objects that can be combined to create mini-applications called widgets

or used to create completely new and unique desktops.

-- Keyboard LaunchPad: A program that allows users to assign mouse and

other actions to hot keys that work system wide. It can assign

clipboard contents to a hot key.

-- RightClick: A program that allows users to replace their desktop menu

with one of their own choosing that can have added functionality to

improve productivity.

-- Theme Manager: A program that integrates the various programs of Object

Desktop (and third party ones as well) into a single interface.

-- Stardock Central: Allows users to access ObjectDesktop.net, a free

service that comes with Object Desktop that allows users to get instant

updates to all of the core Object Desktop programs along with over a

dozen other Object Desktop programs.

The Object Desktop 2005 CD also includes SkinStudio and IconDeveloper; programs that make it relatively easy for users to create their own skins, icons, and themes.

Object Desktop 2005 is available on CD or can be purchased electronically. Users who purchase it have access to all the programs that make up Object Desktop (nearly two dozen) as well as all updates made to Object Desktop for a full year after purchase.
