Camarade_Tux Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) On the desktop contest, I've seen many different wonderful apps but I did not found any place on msfn with them.The goal of this topic is to create a place where people can share them.And in fact, it doesn't need to be an app. It can also be a plugin (for LS for instance), a desklet, docklet, a shell extension or even a theme.Just write the name, a quick description with a link, a screenshot, a comment if you have any and if it still developped (and the price if it is not free...)exemple:[Docklet] Mail Checker by Andreas VerhoevenChecks emails from any pop server, multiple accounts, labels can be edited, runs in AveDesk. Maybe handles IMAP, not sure. Seems to be unsupported now. Download@WinCustomize.orgYour turn. Edited December 18, 2006 by Camarade_Tux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyotewrw Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 RocketDock: Most feature-rich and stable dock I've used so far.CD Art Display: Excellent support for multiple players.Rainlendar & Rainmeter: Oldies but goodies. Can't survive w/out Rainlendar. ClocX: Only analog clock I've found that has chimes and alarms.Yahoo! Widgets: Mostly for the weather. I'd dump it for a decent Rainmeter config.jetAudio media player: Very convenient when in toolbar mode. The external spectrum window is cool, too.

Camarade_Tux Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) [Docklet App] PodXP by leFoolA program with many features like AveDesk but also some others and most important, a different approach.Latest version is 1.1b. There has been no update for 6 months but the beast is stable and runs great. Of course, it is free.Website Edited January 7, 2007 by Camarade_Tux Rehosted images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camarade_Tux Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 [Dock] Rocket DockFree dock for windows which is amazingly fast : default config takes 640MHz at max. A faster mode is available.It supports lots of icons types, under Vista you can get live window previews, it supports ObjectDock docklets, MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and Y'z Dock skins and is available in many languages.Windows can be minimized to it in a nice effect (not like the one in XP) and this doesn't take much CPU power.You can add elements by drag-and-dropping them for explorer or start menu, you can remove them in the same way and it is also possible to reorganize them with drag-and-drop.A demo video is available on their website.Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 So far, I've been using AveDesk and TrueLaunchBar (there are things that the Samurize Task bar configs just can't do as easily).I've been playing with Samurize, but to recreate my AveDesk layout (or something as functional) is taking a while... :SWhy can't they just let a picture be a link?! Gotta make an image and then a blank linked text area on top of the picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orus Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 May I suggest UberIcon? It creates new effects when you launch your icons and folders. Check it out. It's free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
