SDTV: IconPackager, Minimalistic desktops

April 2004

from JoeUser Forums

This month's Stardock TV focuses primarily on IconPackager. But with the new release of Object Desktop 2004 (the yearly snapshot of all of the programs that make up Object Desktop being aligned into a single coherent product) we take a quick look at that too.

This is IconPackager 2.5. The world's most popular way (by far) of changing your Windows icons by applying packages (sometimes called sets) of icons.

 

This is Theme Manager. It's been totally rewritten and is the successor to the popular "WinStyles" program. It lets you apply individual skins, themes, icons, wallpapers, etc. Or you can apply entire "suites" at once. When you have your desktop just the way you want it, you can save it as a .suite and bring it back later.

 

Some people think Object Desktop is all about eye candy and glitz. But Object Desktop is really about turbo charging Windows to work how you want it to. This month's Stardock TV also shows how you can use Object Desktop to create a minimalistic desktop. Just raw speed.

A very cool and clearly Video about some things in Object Desktop. I think there are lots of Win2k Users and they cant agree about Icon Packager. That is one of the worth things about IP and Win2k. Is there any chance to change the look of the Icons like in WinXp ??? The Icons in Win2k looks terrible.

Me use both, Xp and Win2k.

Another great article! Love reading your posts. Although, I must admit, sometimes. I haven't a clue what you're talking about.
