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A newer version of the program is available from the publisher, but we found nothing with the current version that needs to be changed.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.

Waste of time - this service no longer exists
PureCommessOctober 19, 2012
Pros
Interface seems nice - doesn't do anything, though
Cons
Crashed the first few times I ran it When I got it to run there were no feeds On further research I found out the publisher's web site no longer exists
Summary
The program itself crashed the first few times it ran on my Windows 7 laptop. When it eventually did run I found there were no feeds to choose from. On further research I found out the publisher's web site no longer exists. CNET should remove this listing.
Did not work!

Pros
No pros to report.
Cons
Installed twice. Appeared to unzip properly. Then it just plain didn't work.
Summary
Using Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, SP2 I will readily admit it could be operator error on my part or maybe I overlooked something. However, this is not normal for me. There is not much detail to provide. Generally, I have no issues with downloads from CNET. In this case, everything acted as you would expect until the installation was complete and I clicked on the desktop shortcut. A little box came up with a few tabs and options that did basically nothing. I didn't feel like sending the error log to the company and troubleshooting the problems because I don't feel I should have to do this upon first launch. There are too many good programs out there to waste time with one that gives me problems from the start. This may be a good program, it just didn't work for me.

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. Updated on Jun 9, 2009(By the way, I'm using Windows XP Pro).
