How To Hide Your Desktop Icons?

Shared By David: "Hey Brent, while this is not per say a question, nor a comment, but more of a suggestion that I think your current new blog fans might enjoy hearing about and that is the posting that you did many, many moons ago on your Wallpaper Blog that was titled "Desktop Tip" where you shared a free program know as "Iconoid" that I'm still using to this day and I'm sure you are also and that would solve many of your current blog fans problems with wallpapers that do not match their screen size. Just a thought that I think might be of help to many has it was to me when I first saw it on your blog years ago. David"

WOW David, you know that old saying sometimes you can not see the forest for all the trees!!! Well Wallpaper Buddy, this is one of them and what a great reminder to share with all My current Blog Fans here!!! Yes "Iconoid" is a free light weight little program that I have been using for years now and it goes all the way back to Windows 98 and is still going strong to this day under Windows 8!!!  So what is "Iconoid" you are asking, well it is just a simply little program that for one, "HIDES" all your desktop icons automatically after 10 seconds of your mouse not moving, which allows you to enjoy you Desktop Wallpaper without any of your desktop icons covering up anything, as shown here.....

(My Desktop With Iconoid And My Mouse Just Moved)

(Now My Desktop With My Mouse idle for 10 sec.)

And if you want your lower bottom task bar to disappear also, their is a setting for that as well as your cursor also, then you have a COMPLETE FULL MONITOR view of you favorite Wallpaper and when you want everything to re-appear, just move your mouse. DA TA!
  
For two, the other sweet thing this program does is that it can line-up ALL your Icons either to the Right, to the Left, to the Top, to the Bottom or ALL AROUND THE OUTER SIDES, like I prefer with just a click of a button!!! This is great depending on what your current Wallpaper you may have.
   
And for three, for those of you that have a Monitor that the Wallpaper size doesn't fit, then this Utility Program uses Auto Bordering that best matches a color that borders the smaller Wallpaper for your Monitor or you can set it to any color that you would like, such as black.  The following is my Wide Screen Monitor with Bryan's Standard Size Wallpaper...

(This Is Version #1 With A Light Brown Border)

(While This Is Version #2 With A Dark Gray Border)

(Both Were Auto Bordered By Iconoid) 

And as you can see this is much better than just blank white on both sides or if you have a standard monitor with a wide screen wall paper then the blank white on top and bottom are Auto Border with a matching color.
   
So as you can see, I'm really impressed with this program and all that it can do and I thank David for his reminder to share it with all of you!
