DeskDeco 2 Update 1

About three months ago, we released the long-awaited DeskDeco 2, our wallpaper management software that lets you easily manage the desktop images on Windows systems. While version 2 was a rewrite of the original DeskDeco for the .Net framework, this update adds some features that actually make use of the added leg room that this framework provides.



The complete list of changes is as follows:

• Wider list width, so longer filenames can be shown.
• If the list width is still not enough, added tooltip to show the filename where the mouse is currently hovering upon.
• Re-added the manual selection feature, which went missing from the last version after a last minute update.
• File filter now supports more file formats.
• Replaced some more code that makes use of deprecated functions.
• Option to include the pictures from all of the subfolders.
• The folder list is now updated only during start-up or when certain settings are changed. This is because with the Include Subfolders option, the list may take longer to update.
• Removed color effects button.
• Removed the option to copy the selected picture to the DeskDeco folder as it has no more practical use today.
• After startup, DeskDeco is minimized to the tray.

X-Men: First Class Wallpaper

If I had any say in the making of this superhero flick, I would have called this film X-Men: The Making of a Villain because that is what it's all about. Anyway, that logo sure looks cool and will look even better on your desktop.



Here are the main mutants, ready to show off their powers. Who would have thought that they were responsible for the Cuban missile crisis, having some mutants start the crisis and the other ones thwarting their efforts just in time.



The face of a good guy is represented by James McAvoy who plays Charles Xavier. His power lies in reading and controlling minds. He becomes the leader of the X-Men, who are apparently named after him.



Sebastian Shaw, who is played by Kevin Bacon, tries really hard to act like the main villain, but ultimately he is just the fuel for the monster that he has created. His special power is to absorb energy to then shoot it back, which is pretty handy if you ask me.



And here he is ladies and gentlemen, the true main villain Magneto. In this movie we see this character being shaped into what he is now, and sometimes we are made to feel sorry for him even if he is hell-bent to destroy humanity. He is played by Michael Fassbender and his special power is that he is a magnet.



Raven is a shape-shifter, played by Jennifer Lawrence. We can only watch unable to do anything while she is having personality issues. She thinks that her original form is an aberration of nature, so most of the time she keeps her human form. Later as she comes to accept her nature, she prefers to be called Mystique.



However I will let you decide which one of Raven's forms you like best for downloading on your desktop. The human one above or the mutant one below. Choice can be so difficult sometimes, although your preference about blue skin could make all the difference.



Lastly, here's a picture of the other major female mutant. And frankly, I don't have anything much to say about the rest of the mutant kids. January Jones plays Emma Frost, who also possesses the mind-reading skills of Xavier with the added ability to turn her skin into a diamond.

Kiddy Grade Wallpaper

Lumiere has got class and elegance in barrel loads. She is the mind of our heroic duo, but her ability to control matter itself is beyond limit. Good thing she's on our good side! Lumiere likes to sip down a good bottle of red wine.



Eclair is the brawn of the duo. She won't think twice when something needs to be blown away. Like her partner, her power has no limits, no wonder she is G-class. Eclair however is very emotional, but it is her sense of justice that ends up putting her into trouble.



Eclair and Lumiere together. They have been through a lot of stuff with each other and the boss knows that she can always count on them to resolve any situation.



Another shot of Eclair and Lumiere, this time outside of the GOTT headquarters getting ready for a new episode full of action.



Eclair and Lumiere make a comeback, and they're out to set things straight. This time they appear more grown up, and their looks are more enticing. But at this point their full power has been unleashed and no one and nothing is going to stop them.



On with the other characters, starting with the cutest. Viola and Cesario.



An-ou and Un-ou are not on best terms with Eclair and Lumiere. But when there is the need of their support they willingly join in. Perhaps their improved senses makes them the cynical guys thay they truly are.



Tweedledum and Tweedledee seem to be the closest friends with Eclair and Lumiere. Being brother and sister, they have a close bond to each other.


Dextera and Sinistra have got the good looks. They can cut anything that happens to be between them in half, but fortunately when they were called in to purge Eclair and Lumiere they were nowhere to be found!



Alv and Dvergr are as evil as your typical antagonist, and their power is all derived from their hatred towards the Nouvlesse. But this mother and daughter team end up to be the real victims of the space-dwelling future society.
