RELEASE NOTES

Talisman Desktop" (Talisman) is a desktop alternative and

shell-replacement for Windows 9x/ME and NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista

capable of transforming your desktop into an interface organized

as you like. The program's basic purpose: Launch other

applications in a new interface, instead of the standard Windows

desktop. But the opportunities presented by "Talisman" are much

broader. The program does not limit your computer fantasies

draw anything you like and arrange it as your imagination tells

you to. When you get tired of looking at the same screen - change

it all over again. If you are in a good mood - throw flowers and

favorite photos on the screen. If you're not feeling so bright

leave the black screen with lonely Norton Commander or winking

Bill Gates. Create invisible buttons - they will open those

places and the pictures, known only to you. Construct galleries

of the best pictures and photos. Simply create your own little

world, created by and for you, instead of staring at the same

lines of icons on your desktop, year after year

With the help of "Talisman" you can create your own interface or

use one of the hundreds ready themes that are available in our

collections and in the internet. Interface (theme) is a set of

screens, forms, "rooms" and objects. All these objects are

interactive and respond to movements or clicks of the mouse
