One of our development teams had a chance to update Desklighter over in the labs. Of course one of the obvious questions would be around its functionality as it compares to the new features offered in Silverlight 3 and Out of Browser (OOB) support. Find that answer below and grab the latest update on the Desklighter page here.
How is this different from Silverlight Out-of-Browser(OOB) feature?
OOB helps in storing a hosted Silverlight application onto your desktop for running it from outside the browser. It does not help you in making it portable. The application created by OOB will work only on the systems where they were installed. Desklighter can create truly portable exes that can be distributed in any media.
Customization of OOB application window is limited to its size, title, and icon, etc. Desklighter supports all this, plus border type (re-sizable, fixed, none), background color (transparency is also supported), and init parameters.
