Surpriise

Surpriise is a small desktop enhancement application developed specifically for helping you add some fun animated characters on your screen. It is suitable especially for desktop enthusiasts who want to brighten the looks of their desktop background with ease. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

Interactive design and a few configuration settings

After a fast and simple installation process where you only need to press on a few ‘Next’ buttons in order to complete the task, the tool reveals a fun layout. It places an animated character which carries a present in its arms.
Double-clicking on the animated characters gives you the possibility to view what’s hidden inside of the box. Six smaller desktop mates are automatically revealed on your screen. They play different instruments.
What’s more, you are allowed to move each of the six characters to the desired desktop positon using drag-and-drop actions. The animated mate which carries the present can also be moved to the preferred location on the desktop.
In order to access the configuration parameters, you need to right-click on the mate with the present. Only a few tweaking options are hidden under the hood. They give you the option to close the desktop mates with ease and show or hide the six screen characters.
Surpriise is not a resource hog so you do not need a powerful computer to run it. You do not have to worry that it affects the overall performance of the computer. You may keep it running in the background. On the downside, it has not been updated for a long time so it may cause compatibility issues, and you may experience all sorts of bugs on newer operating systems, like Windows 8 and 10.

Final remarks

To sum things up, if you are looking for nothing more than a simple software solution for changing the looks of your desktop with several mates, you can give Surpriise a try and see that it can do for you.
