Holiday Skins '07 - DesktopX

Put some "decorations" on your desktop!

Wednesday, December 19, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: Community

Over the past couple of weeks I have shown some of the top holiday skins in the CursorXP (now CursorFX) gallery, and the ObjectDock gallery.  This years Holiday Skin Guide was posted, and you can find some wonderful holiday skins for your desktop without having to search too much.

Aside from wallpapers, one of the biggest contributions of holiday inspired skins goes to the DesktopX category.  Over the years many skinners have done some really creative things using DX, and many of them involved "decorating" your desktop.

So this week I wanted to highlight some of the really great and creative DesktopX objects/widgets that have been submitted from the last couple of years.

The image   Christmas Lights small by Island Dog 

I have always enjoyed putting lights up at Christmas time, so I figured why not put them on the desktop as well.

One of my personal favorites is this beautiful snow globe that displays the weather, and was made to match the Christmas suite.  There is also a matching countdown gadget as well.
The image   Realistic Animated Christmas Snowflakes by GreenReaper 

This was mentioned on the front page today, but it definitely deserves a mention here as well.  
The image   Bubble Lights by Amethystm00n 

I always thought bubble lights were very cool, so I was pleased to see someone bring them to the desktop.
The image   Christmas Candles by buzzh58 

These candles make another great addition to a holiday desktop.  Click the flames to light them and put them out.
