If you add an icon that creates a new column of icons on the desktop, the size of the background image automatically adjusts to the necessary width-and it does so with a subtle but nice animation.

Download of DeskCover 1.92 for Mac was available from the developer's website when we last checked. As you move icons onto and off of your desktop, DeskCover is always watching. Choose a color scheme you like, and that’s it.ĭeskCover isn’t just a static background, though.

The preferences screen isn’t much more complex. When active, you’ll see a DeskCover icon in your menu bar click it to open the program’s preferences or to quit the program-and that’s it as far as the functionality in the menus.
