DeskLook

DeskLook is a program that reads data directly from your Outlook and displays them on the desktop which becomes interactive. It resembles Outlook Today data view with addition of a calendar for three months: current, next, previous. Appointments in the calendar list are displayed according to the setting in Customize Outlook Today and the same goes for tasks in tasks list and folders in messages list. Everything is interactive, e.g. you can double click on an appointment directely on the desktop to get it opened in Outlook; or double click on contacts link to bring up Outlook Contacts. DeskLook offers two data views, fixed central and customizable side bar, in three different styles with changeable transparency, and works even if Outlook is not started so you will have your data available all the time. You can easily hide data without exiting the program if that is necessary or use special option to hide data automatically when computer is locked. DeskLook is able to start your Outlook so you can use its launch on startup option to have both programs automatically started each time you switch on your computer. In addition, the program features an option to popup central data view temporarily on top of the screen, it displays current day of the month in the system tray and you can explicitly choose between 12/24h time formats.
