    Today’s Giveaway of the Day – the Desktop Icon Toy 3.3 looks GREAT, and is exactly what I wanted – so I downloaded it, but many of the listed features don’t seem to work, and their website has no tech support or forum to access help. I wonder if my download was corrupted, or if I did something wrong. For example, I’m trying to hide the icons when my cursor is off the Desktop, but instead, when I select that option, the icons stay hidden, no matter where my cursor is. Or, trying to change icon colors but that option has no effect. Has anyone tried the program? The description is below:

    I have version 3.1 and all the features work. So it very well could be that your download was corrupted.

    Found out the problem. . . GAOTD didn't enable the download of the 64 bit program.
