DeskMakeover vs Right Click Enhancer

DeskMakeover is a free Windows desktop customization app for changing icon appearance and arranging icons in zones drawn over wallpaper. It offers nine hand-tuned looks: Squircle, Blueprint, Pixel Era, Gleam, Glaze, Die-Cut, Porthole, Scrapbook, and Creekstone. Shape, coloring, plate, finish, and shortcut mark can be adjusted independently. For organization, users can choose Workbench or Quadrants templates or draw zones themselves, with five materials and four title styles. The studio mirrors the desktop live, supports undo and redo, and can reread icons, arrangement, and wallpaper in one click. Style combinations can be saved, exported as files, and imported as style packs. DeskMakeover snapshots the Windows desktop before changes and says each change can be undone with one click. It installs per-user and runs locally without an account, telemetry, or uploads, according to its maker. The app supports 64-bit Windows 10 version 1809 or newer and Windows 11, not macOS or Linux.

Right Click Enhancer is a Windows control panel for customizing the right-click menu and related file options. It can add application, file, and folder shortcuts, group them into submenus, and remove or disable unwanted entries with its Right Click Editor. File actions include adding destinations to Send To and providing Copy to folder and Move to folder options. Users can add or remove file types in the New menu or create file types with default content. Other controls cover Internet Explorer context-menu entries, file associations, and file descriptions; the product also includes productivity tweaks such as God Mode. Customizations can be saved to a registry file and applied on other PCs. The Free edition is available for free. Professional costs $9.99, paid once for one PC, and Business costs $19.99, paid once for three PCs. The Professional trial has no time limit, but allows up to four added shortcuts and cannot remove or disable entries with submenus or images.
