- Active Desktop 1.043, No More Desktop — Do you really love that boring Windows «desktop» concept? I personally don?t. Even if I could believe there were desktops in size of a stool, I still wouldn?t believe that a handful of icons are the only things I could place on my desktop. I want some more of dynamics, I want some more of information, and I want some more of beauty, after all! If you feel yourself the same way…
- StarSkin, Get Their Best from Themes — Windows Themes, introduced by Windows XP, are really a cool thing. The bound of interface changeability was nearly completely broken. Nearly: StarSkin does one more step to the boundless interface theming. First of all, it allows changing appearance — of either the entire Windows or of individual elements — more comfortably, then Windows itself does. One or two clicks — and your environment is altered…
- Art of Japanese Crosswords — It’s a game. Moreover, it’s a Japanese game. Created not so far (1987) by the Japanese puzzle-master Tetsuya Nishio, the game, however, soaked up the ancient culture and civilization. It’s an art. The pictures are simple, the drawing is logical, not creative; but when the puzzle is solved, you suddenly see some small piece of art created by your mind and your hands from the plain and unpretentious…
- Landscapes Online Wallpaper — This may strike you every day. It comes unexpectedly and fills your mind. This thought seems to be simple, insignificant, and «I-have-more-important-tasks» dumb.

Whether you are a complete novice or old sysadmin, a pretty schoolgirl or severe ascetic — once in a while you do think, «WHY NOT CHANGE MY DESKTOP…
- ProSaver Screensaver Manager 1.0.1, Screensavers as Art — Years ago, in the times of single-task OSes and old monitors, the «screen-saver» concept was introduced as a must (because if the same picture remained on the old screen for too long, the picture would physically damage the screen and create «burnt-out pixels» on it.) Years have passed, and modern monitors have almost no need for «saving the screen». Nevertheless, screensavers are still alive and are becoming some kind…
- Museum of New Psychedelic Art — Although screensavers only occasionally appear on our displays, they greatly add to the aesthetic appeal of our computers, especially now, when the functional role of screensavers has drastically diminished due to the overall dominance of LCD monitors. Standard Windows screensavers are not even nearly as impressive as commercial products available on the market. If you are looking for a bright, eye-catching and unusual screensaver, check out…
- Perfect Clock, It's an Art — Numerous times a day we look at the clock — on the wall, on the desk, on our computer desktop… And what do we see? — A pair of arrows in a circle or a few digits around the blinking dots? Perfect Clock gives a whole different idea on clock and timing, presenting time as a perfect combination of punctuality, power and art. Perfect Clock is a very flexible desktop…

- Mandala Painter, An Entertaining Art — Even the prettiest flower on earth is actually a great combination of simpler shapes (petals), symmetrically repeated around the circle. This is also true about other «tricky» masterpieces — snowflakes, shining stars, and even the most unrealistic designs capturing our eye through the glass of a kaleidoscope. Too sad — all of those exciting figures soon just pass away, and the best we can do about that…
