- Object Desktop is not a program but a suite of programs, such as Windowblinds, DesktopX, Objectbar, etc.
The closest Object Desktop program from Litestep is probably Desktop X, although it's different too. One could use Desktop X and Litestep together.
In short:
-
Windowblinds: skins your windows
-
Objectbar: skins/customize your start/taskbar/systray
-
Desktop X: Make cool looking desktops with animations and all.
-
Litestep: it's a shell. Unlike any of the above that just run on top of the standard Windows shell (explorer.exe), Litestep runs instead of explorer.exe. It's faster, more stable and extremely more customizable. It will change the whole look of your desktop, let you customize the taskbar like you want it, and remove the start button and replace it with a right-click on the desktop popup access to your shortcuts. Litestep has hundreds of modules that can be added and add very cool stuff. Litestep is the most versatile and the most supported. But the downside is that Litestep is for nerds. There is no drag and drop, click that button and check that box type of configuration. It's all done manually with a text file, and don't make a typo of you won't even boot.
So, that's about it.
