Deskpecker

Personalization of the personal computer can simply start off from the background picture, and end up with a completely modified environment. This can include quite the variety of small tweaks, which bundled together result in the long-awaited custom theme. In case nature is a thing of interest, Deskpecker can bring a tiny woodpecker to keep company while using the PC.

The enhancement comes under a lightweight package, which requires no installation in order to function. This makes it flexible enough to be carried around a thumb drive to use it on both home, and work computers.

Right at launch, the tiny woodpecker is virtually welcomed to the desktop, and stop by every time it wants to. In fact, it shows up on every active window, and sticks around for the entire duration of use. It only sticks to the right border of the window, so it’s best to leave a little room for it to hang on to.

Every now and then it picks on the active window. No worries here, because no harm is done to the target window, not even in time. Just so it doesn’t interfere with any activities, it minds its own business in silence, even when picking. The first launch also makes it run with Windows every time. However, this can be changed from the Task Manager found in Windows 8 or above.
