Dynamically hide icons when you don’t need them and show them when you do
Quickly minimize all windows so that you can see your desktop wallpaper.
Iconoid runs either as a system tray icon, or completely hidden. It watches where your cursor moves and looks for changes to the desktop.
When the cursor moves off of the desktop, Iconoid might hide the desktop icons so that you can see the wallpaper better. When you move the mouse back to the desktop, the icons reappear.
Iconoid also looks for changes to the wallpaper (file size or name) and if it sees that the wallpaper has changed, it forces the icon colors back to your specifications (color or transparent)
Only Iconoid hides and shows the icons when you need them.
Only Iconoid insures that when you restore icon positions, the saved positions do not overlay other icons. Iconoid goes to great lengths to insure that all Icons are visible when you restore Icon positions.
Iconoid can be completely hidden or live in the system tray.
Iconoid is customizable. For example, you can decide what options appear in the tray popup so that you don’t have to see a cluttered list of items you don’t use.
Iconoid can determine the optimal text background color whenever the wallpaper changes — automatically.
Iconoid comes with complete source.
