By popular demand Stardock has created a new version of DesktopX Pro: DesktopX Pro LX.

DesktopX Pro LX lists for $129 ($99 upgrade for Object Desktop users). It is designed for power users interested in creating stand alone applications from DesktopX objects for personal, non-commercial use.

DesktopX is a program that can turbo-charge your Windows desktop by letting you add and create powerful objects to it that can do pretty much anything you want them to do. These objects can be put together to build entire desktop environments. It is one of the most popular desktop enhancement programs on Windows.

There is a free downloadable version of DesktopX at http://www.desktopx.net. The enhanced registered version adds additional features and is currently only $19.95 (it will go to $24.95 next month). There are thousands of objects and themes available for DesktopX.

The Pro version allows those same objects to be exported as stand-alone applications (applications that don't require DesktopX to be installed on the target system). These applications don't require any run-times or supporting files, they're a single .EXE.

Check out the WinCustomize DesktopX object library to get an idea of what kinds of things DesktopX objects are capable of doing.
