We could see all kinds of icons theme in different software environment usually, such as browsing a web page, playing a game, using different operating system even running different software. We are usually more interested in these icons than the icons are being used in our operating system. However the icons themes that were provided by the operating system which we are using are very similar or lacking. Do you tire of facing the same icons every day when you are using your computer in home or office? If there is powerful and flexible way that enable us customize our desktop icons with special effects, such as mouseover animations, sounds and more. You need not to look for it here and there. Here is good news for you. Thank for Stardock Systems, the publisher of IconX, the helpful and easy to use utility which can apply special effects for our desktop. Now with IconX, I can change my desktop at any time if I want. Do you have the same troubles as me? IconX is just for you! Give it a try and I insure that it will give you a surprise.

IconX allows us to customize our desktop icons with special effects like mouseover animations, sounds and more. IconX can enhance our Windows desktop icons. Give them shadows, make them any size, have them zoom up on mouse-over and much more. In short: Make our desktop icons look totally awesome! We can make our icons larger when the mouse moves over them, add special effects like echo and pinging circles, as well as sound effects. Our creation can be saved as theme (not during evaluation) or we can use one of the ready to use themes that come included.

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, we 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 are just different varieties of expanding circles. Also, note that IconX can not 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 does not save changes between start-ups. However, for those who need to configure their desktops down to the last detail, IconX $9.95 price should not be too much to pay.

The key features and highlights of IconX include: Allows us to re-label our icons. Changing the labels can make them easier to read or better identify what the icon represents.
