What is DeskShade 2.x?

Are you tired of messy desktops? Would you rather have a fancy desktop with your favorite desktop pictures right at your fingertips? Introducing DeskShade 2.

Create a Desktop Collection

DeskShade 2 sports a fast and easy to use desktop manager where you can keep all your favorite pictures. Add your iPhoto albums, drop images and folders from your hard drive or the internet, organize them into albums and you're good to go.

All the Colors of the Rainbow

Often you find a great picture, but you really don't like its color scheme. Your choice used to be limited to Photoshop or an unusable image. Now you can simply click a button in the Desktop Central, slide some sliders and your color variation is added automatically.

Drag and Drop, Meet Internet

Unless you're a highly productive desktop artist, odds are most of your desktop pictures are from various places on the internet. For that reason, DeskShade 2 introduces two innovative features. You can now drag an image from your browser straight to the DeskShade menu item. The second way to get images is DeskShade links. These little gems can be used on any site, embedded in the page.

Desktop Effects

With DeskShade 2, you have a choice of 6 great effects to morph your old desktop picture into a new one. A rotating cube? No problem. A fan of a simple fade or wipe? DeskShade 2 has you covered.

Combined with the elegant fading away of your desktop icons, these desktop effects will make your Windows using friends green with envy.

Turn Your Desktop Into Cinema

While desktop pictures with transitions are sleek, sometimes you want something a little more vivid. Something relaxing, or just fun. DeskMovie allows you to overlay your desktop with any QuickTime movie. Stretch that Incredibles trailer all over your screen with 50% opacity, and you have an Incredible desktop!

Your Personal Vault

There are always people who would love to have a peek at your personal stuff. With DeskLock, they simply can't! Now, a secure desktop is just a keystroke away.

Unlike other locking mechanisms, DeskLock allows you to show a personalized message when you're away. You can choose between several message styles, including a Styled Text mode where you can enter colored or bolded text, even include images! If you prefer a more simple look, the bezel styles will surely please you.

The Hacker Log is what intruders will regret. If you suspect someone has been snooping around, simply give him/her a hint about your password (of course completely wrong). The next time you unlock your DeskLocked computer, that password might just show up in the detailed Hacker Log: time to have a talk!
