Overview

GTI Desktop+ is a set of integrated desktop utilities for MS Windows which complement many of the desktop features built into Windows 95/NT.

The functions GTI Desktop+  includes are split into 5 main areas

 Screen Saver

Bored seeing the same screen saver again & again, GTI Desktop+ will solve this for you because it will start a random screen saver from your collection every time the screen saver kicks in.

GTI Desktop+ also lets you enable hot corners so that as soon as you move the cursor into the corner you selected the screen saver will instantly start

 Sounds

Fed up hearing the same Start & Exit sounds every time you use Windows ,,,, well GTI Desktop+  has an answer for this too it will automatically change the Startup/Exit sounds every time it runs.

 Themes

GTI Desktop+ can also randomize your MS Themes every time GTI Desktop+ starts up or at a user defined interval. (Note this option requires you have MS Plus installed)

 Wallpaper

And there`s more …GTI Desktop+ radically improves the management of desktop wallpapers. Not only does it act as  a wallpaper randomizer it will also let you use bmp, jpeg or wmf files as wallpapers.  And as if this wasn't enough GTI Desktop+ can also be set to stretch all wallpapers to the screen size or auto center/tile wallpapers depending on the image size.

 Wallpaper Animate

But if you are really bored with static wallpapers animate them !!!  GTI Desktop+ will turn any Windows 95/NT 4 compliant screen saver into an animated wallpaper

All of the features within GTI Desktop+ are controlled through one simple integrated package. All of the features within GTI Desktop+ can be individually turned on or off, so you only need to use the functions you want.

Note The shareware version of GTI Desktop+ will cease to work 30 days after it was initially installed
