Bring Your Desktop To Life With Desktop Icon Toy

View Comments December 23, 2009 | Robert Boland

Staring at the same desktop screen, day after day can become quite tedious over time. Sometimes your just looking for that little something, just to make your day that little bit more exciting, well I think I’ve found it – Desktop Icon Toy.

Desktop Icon Toy is a great little program, it’s free and fully functional for 14 days, after that some of the features are reduced but it’s still perfectly usable. And if you decide you really want those extra features, it’s a reasonable $19.95.

Desktop Icon Toy spices up your desktop and adds a bit of life to it, it automatically arranges your icons for you, and gives them a nice “Bouncy” animation when you hover over them. However it does more than just arranging them left and right, I’ll get to that in a minute, but first it has a handy way of arranging icons to the top, bottom, left and right of your screen.

All you have to do is,

  1. Click on a blank area of your desktop
  2. Drag either up,down, left or right , depending on where you want the icons arranged,
  3. Release the mouse

And you will see all your icons slide gracefully into their positions. But it’s not just these cool mouse gestures that make this program great.

What I really like about it is the fact that it can arrange all your icons in some very interesting shapes, quickly and easily.
