DeskLook for Microsoft's Outlook connects directly with your Outlook, reads tasks and appointments you have in the calendar, counts unread messages in selected folders and shows everything on an interactive desktop.
DeskLook reads and displays data from Outlook according to settings you have for Outlook Today. There you have options to set how many days in the future you want to have displayed in the Calendar section, choose what kind of tasks to display and how you want them sorted and select folders to display in the Messages section.
You can personalize your desktop by choosing between two data views, central view and side bar view. You can even customize the size and components of the side bar style, but sadly, not the central one. Both views are available in three different colors: exciting blue, green and brown, and you can adjust the transparency as well. Fun!
So if you are one of the 12 people who actually use Outlook, get excited! This is probably pretty awesome for you!
