Publisher's description of IconX
From Stardock: IconX turbo-charges your Windows desktop icons. It can insert shadows, make icons bigger, make icons zoom up when you mouse over them, and even change their color based on what you're doing. Version 1.1 adds the ability to change your icon text labels to have backgrounds which look nicer and add better readability.

Editor's review of IconX
More an icon-theme tweaker than an editor, IconX offers a modest set of features at an affordable price. Using the bare-bones tabbed interface, you can assign predefined themes or manually adjust icon sizes, brightness, contrast, transparency, and shadow. Other options include the ability to alter the font, size, and color of icon labels. The program can also trigger sounds and special effects on mouseover, click, and double-click events. However, the visual effects are a bit disappointing--they're just different varieties of expanding circles. Also, note that IconX can't change individual icons or create new ones. It applies tweaks to every icon at once, and the Windows Display Properties control panel provides some of this functionality already. Also, the shareware version disables animations and doesn't save changes between start-ups. However, for those who need to configure their desktops down to the last detail, IconX's $10 price shouldn't be too much to pay.
