Active Desktop
By
Pulsar Technologies Free
Developer's Description
We created Active Desktop to offer the best Windows 8.1 (or later) experience to our customers by adding the old abandoned Windows XP feature, called Active Desktop, but in a far more advanced way. This new technology allows to connect your desktop background to the latest feeds (weather, news), or even to your own Philips Hue light bulbs in a Windows Metro fashion.
The app has a small embedded browser that will let you explore the Active Desktop world and update your wallpapers. Some of the greatest wallpapers of Active Desktop will let you connect your desktop with the weather and simulate it in a tiny 3D, beautiful landscape, or will let you synchronize your Philips Hue lamps with the desktop background (color, intensity), or will let you connect with our Push Ups trainer Android app.
