AveDesk is a program that will give you the possibility to have icons on your desktop which could update themselves. Each icon of Avedesk is in fact a desklet, a little plug-in that can virtually do anything. A desklet can be just a regular shortcut, a mail checker, a calendar, a clock, etc.
It depends on the imagination of the desklets programmer.
Also, the user can set a large amount of properties for each desklet: alpha level, drop shadow, grayscaling, label style, etc.
Currently, AveDesk is totally compatible with Object Dock dockets. This means that you can use docklets that were made for Object Dock as your icons.
AveDesk is a tool that enables desklets on your desktop: desklets are small graphically pleasing mini-applications that are useful and fun to use. A desklet can be anything, a small sticky note, a weather foresight, a calculator, etc. It all depends on the imagination of the desklet creator.
In recent years desklets or widgets, as they are also called have been rising up. Many different applications were born after AveDesk that also host widgets. However, AveDesk has a unique set of features that make it distinct from any other widget application
out there:
- Desklets are skinnable. Instead of recreating endless piles of the same desklet with different looks, there are a couple basic desklets that can be skinned. This makes it much easier for skinners and customizers to change the look of a desklet, since they don't have to hassle with code.
- Scalability Each desklets can be scaled to whatever size the user prefers.
- AveDesk provides a Control Panel in where all running desklets are listed and can be modified.
- Desklets are installed, rather than run; allowing for tight control over which desklets can be running.
- Effectlets allow to apply all kind of extra effects to desklets, such as glow on mouse-over.
- Easy interface for options. Each desklet has the same interface for dealing with options.
