Desktop customisation for Windows

Your desktop,
without the ini files.

Pick a preset and it's on your desktop: clocks, dates and live CPU, RAM and GPU stats, sitting above your wallpaper and below your icons. No skins to edit, no config to learn.

Windows 10 and 11 · Free forever, Pro is a one-time purchase

The Circuit preset: circuit traces, DOS-style CPU, RAM and GPU bars, the weekday spelled out and a stacked clock

Seven looks, one click each.

Every preset is live: the time ticks, the stats move. Switch between them as often as you like.

Install and open

The control panel opens with every preset previewed live.

One panel. No files.

Colours, background, 24-hour clock, seconds, date and stats are all switches and swatches. Behind your icons, out of your way, exactly like a wallpaper.

Free, or make it yours.

Questions

What do I need to run DCT?

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. DCT uses Microsoft Edge WebView2, which comes with Windows; the installer adds it if it's missing.

Does it replace my wallpaper?

Only if you want it to. Presets can sit on top of your current wallpaper, use their own background, or (with Pro) a colour or image you choose. Your desktop icons stay on top and clickable.

Will it slow my PC down?

DCT redraws once a second and reads your stats on a background thread, so it stays light. You can hide it from the tray at any time.

How do I unlock Pro?

Buy Pro and you'll get a licence key by email. In DCT, click Get Pro, paste the key and press Activate. The key works on up to 3 PCs, and you can move it by deactivating an old one.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. See the refund policy.
