Windows Tools


About a year ago I wrote about Konfabulator a nifty tool for creating small applications in OS X. I wished the same existed for Windows, since so many of our users have that platform.

Well, it does and has existed, I just never bumped into it. DesktopX has around 1,400 desktop objects available to download.

You can also build and download desktop themes with DesktopX, and you can turn your computer into a lockable desktop environment (perfect for building an Internet kiosk). Did we mention it's free?

The free version includes authoring tools so you can create objects, scriptable via VBScript or JavaScript.

Are any of those 1400 apps library related? Should they be?
