The PC of the future - The new desktop

Published on April 14, 2020 By Frogboy In Software Blog

This PC is using Windows 10. But not just Windows 10 on its own. It's been upgraded a bit with Object Desktop. That's what Object Desktop does. A lot of the things in Windows we see today first showed up in Object Desktop. A few examples include transparencies, shadows, gadgets, ZIP files as folders, GUI skinning, etc. There is a natural progression to the operating system.

On this screenshot I have Groupy, CursorFX, Fences, Start10 and a new app that hasn't been announced yet.

The PC of the future series is going to explore where we think the desktop is going. This PC has 64 CPU cores and 128 logical processors. It has 128 GB of memory and an extremely fast GPU. So what are we going to do with this hardware? That’s what this series will explore.

Edit: Additional screenshots below.

I hate to be the first to rain on your parade, but your desktop looks worse than the the Windows 10 default.

IconPackager? It needs an update. One of my favourites along with WB.

Is there a hidden message here?

Ok, so if he isn't using WindowBlinds, and there's a new as yet unannounced app coming........hmmmmm......

WindowBlinds replacement? I hope it's better. Can't tell it from that screenshot.

Yeah, I hope so too...Although my skinning is down at the moment, what would we do without a properly skinned OS right?

The screenshot is for the purpose of understanding customization of Windows through Object desktop and not to demonstrate any beautiful desktop setup, If I'm right.

What do you think the Windows 10 default desktop looks like?

Because...

I don't think so.
