CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on February 13, 2009
This desktop customization tool places a virtual art gallery at your fingertips. You could spend hours going through the Desktoptopia's amazing graphics and photos.
Activating Desktoptopia is simply a matter of clicking on the desktop icon. Doing so introduces a taskbar icon for managing the wallpaper gallery. A right-click displays your menu options, including the preferences. There, you can manage the wallpaper rotations, including how often you want to change the wallpaper design. You can also manage your wallpaper feed categories. Forward and backward commands let you navigate the hundreds of designs. All of the designs looked extremely professional; some even award-worthy. The artist's name and, if available, homepage is displayed. If you like a particular wallpaper design, pausing or exiting the program will permanently set the design.
A newer version of the program is available from the publisher, but we found nothing with the current version that needs to be changed. We were impressed by Desktoptopia's wallpaper design offerings. If you're tired of your current wallpaper, this free tool gives you seemingly endless possibilities.

Version: Desktoptopia 1.0.0.31
Pros: It sounded good...
Cons: I tried installing this twice, but both times it kept crashing, and wouldn't even let me through the setup process.
Summary: I'll probably try this again in the future because it sounds good. May work okay for others.
(By the way, I'm using Windows XP Pro).
