    "Great if you can master it,"

    August 22, 2010  |   By DrMuraliRaj

    Version: DesktopX 3.5

    Pros

    A great eye-candy for those who love effects.Increases speed of access to programs after customization.

    Cons

    Consumes a lot of memory,needs detailed understanding to customize it well.Tutorials could be simpler.

    Summary

    Initially a shock to see your original desktop disappear,but more than makes up when you start using it.

    "not worth the risk"

    May 2, 2010  |   By cnetprofessional

    Version: DesktopX 3.5

    Pros

    customizable themes
    desktop widgets
    lots of tweaks

    Cons

    very very confusing for amateurs. You could easily end up rouining your desktop with this one piece of software. Sometimes may refuse to uninstall itself and that would mean disaster

    Summary

    If i was you i wouldnt download this. Its too much of a risk - and if you do i would advise a complete system backup and you to download a trustworthy uninstaller program - the best probably being revo uninstaller. I wouldnt think it is worthwhile going through all of this trouble to just use a risky software to customize your desktop - and run the risk of losing everything.

    April 8, 2010  |   By chawciasiab

    Version: DesktopX 3.5

    Pros

    Very good program to customized and create all kinds of icon effects and themes

    Cons

    If you don't know what your doing you can do alot of damage to your desktop and won't be able to get it back the way you have it. Not an easy program to master.

    Summary

    For you people that are having problems and want to uninstall it download revo uninstaller and you can force uninstall it. download link http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

    "Maybe I'm just not experienced? HELP!"

    January 2, 2010  |   By MoCa08

    Version: DesktopX 3.5

    Pros

    Looks cool. That's about it.

    Cons

    Too many to list. Not recommended if you don't know a whole lot about computers.

    Summary

    This thing has taken over my computer. I downloaded this and not I cannot access my start menu or any of my icons! Is this normal? Do I need to somehow manually make each of these things visible? I am on Windows XP which it says is compatible. Not sure what is going on here but it is really annoying and I can't use my computer! (there are four icons showing: wordpad, calculator, stardock.com, and wincustomize.com). I have to follow the wincustomize.com link just to get to the internet! I do not recommend this for anyone who isn't experienced.

    "Stardock - desktopx and others"

    October 25, 2009  |   By precyyse52

    Version: DesktopX 3.5

    Pros

    I pretty much like everything about this software along with the others they have.
    I purchased one of their packages and I must agree with the fact that it does
    take time to learn the functions etc., once you overcome
    that hurdle,all I can is WOW !!

    Cons

    can find any so far :-) if I do I will come back and post it.

    Summary

    Bottom line is, if you invest in the time of learning (lots of tutorials posted) your
    time will be fruitful !!
    I am having a ball with these programs and how cool my pc is looking :-) What I like the most is that this software is safe from bugs etc.......many programs online "especially free ones" are filled with so much junk it is not worth taking the chance of your pc catching the H1N1 lolllll and not making it !!! and the bills you will have making your pc all well again,,,,

    Have fun :-)
