Editor's review of Iconoid

Highly configurable and easy to use, Iconoid makes quick work of customizing your icons' appearance and behavior. The program cannot be set to launch on start-up, but after a manual launch it's easily accessible via the system tray. The help files are extensive and useful, and the number of icon variables you can modify is impressive. Those looking to gain more control over the icons on their desktops will find Iconoid helpful.

  Best Little DeskTop Icon Manager Around!

  by: BigThunder1 on 02-Nov-2006 02:10:07 AM

  Pros: White Lightening must be drinkin' some of that stuff! Your icons are supposed to disappear. That's what this does and more!!! I've been using this for over a year. Works as advertised. Flawless on WinXP! Not only does it hide your desktop icons ect., but it has "HotCorners"! Pick a corner of your monitor in the settings dialog. When anyone walks into the room (like kids ect.,) and you don't want them to see what your working on, like your financial biz, just run your cursor to your chosen corner and ALL active apps will be instantly minimized to the task bar! This is a very handy little app that's worth your time downloadong and instaling. Puts desktop icons out of sight til you need them with just a click on the desktop. Very good, no conflicts, and no adware or 3rd party junk.

  Are icons hiding your beautiful desktop picture? Try this

  by: Smoaky on 26-Feb-2006 11:33:49 AM

  Pros: Not a needed program but it is pretty cool that you can make all your ugly desktop icons disappear all at one time so you can enjoy your desktop picture.It also has several options so that you can customize it to your liking.

  If you like a clean desktop without all those Icons cluttering it up,try this. It is FREE and spyware/adware free also.

  Dance, you icons, dance.

  by: BC1963 on 07-Jun-2007 04:15:19 AM

  Pros: It's neat that this program will make your desktop icons disappear, allowing you to see your wallpaper without the obstruction. The absolute coolest function has to be watching them dance around the screen or swapping positions, a function avalable from the system tray icon. It also allows you to define a "hotspot"; moving the cursor here will close all open windows, similar to a "boss key".
