The desktop is more or less the extension of your room, since many activities take place there, and it sure can get just as messy. Regardless of purpose, customization options let you make it personal, with various applications like Custom Desktop Logo to prove this.

Can be used on the go

Before you go off checking the application’s set of features, you need to make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your computer, because it’s one of the main requirements. Luckily, you don’t have to go through a setup process to make it work, giving you the possibility to carry it around on a USB flash drive.

The application's core functions is to let you display a secondary image on your desktop, with a chance to even create an animation, given the right configurations. The image itself isn’t fitted in any kind of frame, and you can freely move it around the desktop. By default, it shows up in a fixed position, which you can change from the corresponding settings menu.

Set framerate and slide rotation interval

Unfortunately, the application can only work with PNG files, so you need to work your way around to add favorite pictures. In case you already have a folder full of PNG files, you can drop it directly over the sample image, or access the settings panel for more loading options.

Custom Desktop Logo automatically scrolls through your selection of pictures in the way they’re on the import list. Apart from default location, you can use several sliders in order to adjust the number of frames per second to process, interval between slides, as well as general opacity. Luckily, you can set the interval even to zero seconds to make the animation fluid enough.

In conclusion

On an ending note, Custom Desktop Logo might not look like much at first, but if you’re mostly using the desktop space for aesthetics, built-in configurations give you the possibility to have an animation constantly playing, or important pictures as a compact slideshow. Place it along with the picture directory on a USB flash drive, and you can take the animation wherever you go.
