DesktopX 2.21 has been released. DesktopX is a program that extends Windows to support true objects on the desktop. These objects are used to do everything from have "super icons" to being combined together to create "widgets" as well as building entire desktops.
Version 2.21 is mostly an update for those who like to create widgets and themes but has some memory saving features as well:
- Smart-Bitmap Loading to support animated multi-state objects/widgets
- Widgets now have their own name space
- Holding down the Ctrl Key will always move/select an object in DesktopX regardless of how it"s grouped
- Sub-Child activation fixed (clicking on a parent object will activate its children and those children will activate their children and so forth)
- DX labels not responding correctly to resolution changing
- Includes new Weather widget that has features for changing color on the fly and other goodies.
- Bundled objects and widgets updated to better show off what DesktopX can do.
There are 3 versions of DesktopX: The freeware version, an enhanced version that supports more objects and has some desktop security features, and DesktopX Pro which allows users to export their creations as stand alone executables for distribution.
The enhanced version of DesktopX is included as part of Stardock"s Object Desktop suite of desktop enhancements (www.objectdesktop.com).
