Desktop Customization Showcase
TRANSFORMATIVE DESIGN
In its day, a custom-branded desktop theme could be an extremely powerful marketing tool, especially when it's created by an exceptional theme design studio like The Skins Factory. Imagine for a moment the impact of having your brand or property take over the end-user's entire desktop environment voluntarily. Not only did we have the multi-disciplinary prowess to flawlessly execute these visually-integrated environments, but we've also developed our own technologies for their delivery + distribution called Hyperdesk.
Big brands like Disney, Alienware, Sony Ericsson, Electronic Arts and others harnessed these imaginative desktop themes to promote their brands to consumers. See what all the fuss was about….
