Blacksmith

Blacksmith is a small, yet powerful software tool which lets Windows users extent their desktop and toggle them with ease.

The installation process does not bring any surprises and it is over in a few seconds. When you are done with this, you come face to face with a straightforward UI. Moreover, it is non-obtrusive, as it goes in the system tray from the first launch. It can be used by anybody, even people with little to no previous experience with computers.

Right-clicking the systray icon brings up a context menu, which enables you to switch between desktop screens, tinker with the options, access Help contents, reboot your computer and quit from the program. Blacksmith can be started with a custom keyboard shortcut and it enables you to create up to six desktop screens. Moreover, it is possible to load all wallpapers in advance and put icons individually on each desktop.

This software utility can help you receive the local weather forecast for the current day, as well as change the toggling speed and switching mode (like Android, MacOSX Lion etc.), and overlook all desktops (like in Windows 8 or MacOSX).

To sum up, Blacksmith is a useful piece of software which allows you to create and customize several desktop screens. It does not burden your computer’s performance, it encloses comprehensive Help contents and a good response time. Moreover, it is suitable for both power and novice users, and contains enough options to keep you busy for quite a while.
