Decorate your desktop
December 20, 2007
Posted by Kathy Walrath, Google Desktop team
This is the time of year when People Who Love to Decorate — you know who you are — can go all out. And while you're festooning your home and office, don't forget your computer desktop!
The Inside Google Desktop Blog has a guide to the
latest holiday gadgets
, with a picture of each one and tips on how you might use it. You can decorate a Christmas tree, listen to music, exchange ornaments with a friend, count down to the New Year, and more. They look right at home on your desktop, or you can put them in the Google Desktop sidebar or your iGoogle home page.
Take the Christmas Tree gadget, for instance. When you start it up, it's a simple tree with gently falling snow. With a few clicks you can add ornaments wherever you like. If you find the animated precipitation distracting, you can hide the snowflakes.
We hope you enjoy these gadgets. And happy holidays from the Google Desktop Team!
