If you’re the kind of person who frequently keeps changing skins on your desktop, you’ll love Hyperdesk. Hyperdesk is a product from The Skins Factory that allows you to skin your Windows desktop.

The themes are designed by commercial artists – so they look very professional. Every skin suite (Hypertheme) includes a Windows theme, a cute icon set, and an equally pleasing wallpaper. Additional stuff like Windows Media Player themes and a few widgets are also present in some themes.

Here’s why Hyperdesk’s Hypersuites are better than many other themes available for download:

• Very brilliant themes – professionally designed, no niggles, and neat finish
• Hyperdesk uses Microsoft’s own skinning engine – so your system stays stable
• It’s a matter of just click – install – apply. Doesn’t involve any hacks
• One click easy restore – You can easily return back to the default theme at the click of a button – no hassles here as well
