The Windows desktop hasn't changed too much in the last couple of years. For example, the Windows 7 interface is pretty much the same as the Windows Vista one. Some computer users may consider it a bit dull and boring, even when having the Aero feature activated. By default, Windows doesn't support adding themes, it only allows changing the interface colors and changing the background image. Fortunately, there are special applications on the market which allow you to easily change the look and feel of Windows, by giving it a fresh new look. Talisman Desktop is one of those applications.

This simple Windows program can change the way Windows looks, by adding various themes to it. After installing and launching the program, the Windows interface will immediately change, including the desktop icons, start menu and taskbar. For making it easier to access programs and Windows features, Talisman Desktop will add a special toolbar on the top of the screen, allowing the user to customize it thoroughly.

By accessing the theme manager, the user will be able to customize the program's theme. There are several themes available and one can even add new ones from the program's website. The themes don't only change the way the desktop looks, but also add various gadgets to it, like a program launch bar, which allow you to access your favorite applications easier and much faster than using the start menu.

The user can choose to add only certain elements of a theme, for example, only the desktop icons or the startup bar. What's more, one can create themes from scratch, using his own colors and graphics. The user can easily revert to his Windows default theme by using shortcut keys or by accessing program options.

Pros

It can completely change the way Windows looks, by using a large number of themes and by adding various gadgets to the screen. Besides that, the user can create his own themes from scratch. Furthermore, themes can be downloaded from the program's website. Moreover, only certain theme elements can be applied.

Cons

The large number of features may confuse a first time user. Talisman Desktop allows you to completely change the way Windows looks, by adding a large number of themes and gadgets to it.
