• Plenty of visual effects to refresh the look and feel of your desktop.

What you can alter

• Files and installed applications (custom icons and shortcuts)

Icon library and custom artwork

Magic Desktop ships with a library of more than 2,400 icons, so you’ll have plenty of choices. If none of the presets suit you, you can import your own pictures and turn them into icons for a truly personal touch.
