Convergence is the part of Stardock's Object Desktop that ties all the programs together.

It allows users to create true "skins suites" called Skin packs. A skin pack is a collection of icons, skins, and themes put together into a single file. When applied, Convergence communicates with your installed programs and directs them to change their various skins to the ones in the skin pack.

So a user wanting to have a particular overall look to Windows would simply apply a single Convergence skin pack instead of having to go to WinAmp, ICQPlus, WindowBlinds, DesktopX, ObjectBar, IconPackager, CursorEx, NeXTStart, etc. and manually load the appropriate files.

In short, Convergence combes the strength of your installed skinnable software into a single super theme.

It is currently only available on Stardock's Object Desktop (www.objectdesktop.com).

There will probably be a shareware version of it eventually but it would be limited to only support Stardock's software.

"There will probably be a shareware version of it eventually but it would be limited to only support Stardock's software." You are too much, Brad. You'll support your own apps for free, but support for apps you didn't develop will cost money...you're becoming the new M$.

I know I'm going to be in the minority on this one, but I still think it needs to be said.

Well hey Beaker, feel free to write your own program. You want people to spend hundreds of hours on software and just give it to you for free? Sheesh. What do you think pays for this site and the development of all this software?
