Hyperdesk is an exciting new product from The Skins Factory that allows you to transform the appearance of your regular Windows desktop, with an endless array of exciting new desktop themes, skins, wallpapers, widgets and other applications called "hypersuites".

Using Microsoft's own skinning engine, Hyperdesk uses a "native" and stable way to theme Windows. Because the magic of Hyperdesk occurs entirely in memory, your system files are never touched or replaced. And just as it takes a single button to make the magic happen, a single click will return you to your default Windows desktop.

Each Hyperdesk installation contains a custom hypersuite. These works of art have been painstakingly, hand-crafted by the world's most talented commercial interface artists at The Skins Factory, with the same attention to detail & flawless execution we've become known for throughout the industry.

The Skins Factory's theme design division has proven irresistible to the world's leading entertainment companies and content providers. In the past, Microsoft contracted The Skins Factory to build their only official Xbox desktop theme to date, while Alienware Corporation contracted us 6 times to design custom desktop themes. To take advantage of this unique branding experience, please contact us today and see why we're the company with the most desktop experience in the industry.

Hyperdesk currently runs in Windows XP, with Windows Vista compatibility coming soon.
