I was trying to find a tool (or preference pane) that would hide my desktop icons while I make screencasts. I found an applescript that could do something similar (not perfect for my needs), but then I tripped over Foggy Noggin’s DeskToppple.

There’s a free (donationware) and pro version you can use to not only hide icons, but a lot more.

This is totally my new best friend.

Here’s a low-res (but high in dimension) demo video:
