#Desklets no background series#

I mean, even one of those is too much for me, but both of them, when they differ by only one click when either one is opened? Must be some kind of historical thing that a lot of users expect. It's never been clear to me why you would want file manager icons for both File System and Home on the desktop. By default Xfce displays the three icons shown in the screen shot above. The part which interests me here is the 'Default Icons' list at the bottom of the window. The other item that is of interest right now is the 'Icons' tab. There will certainly be people who know a lot more than I do about every one of the desktops I discuss, so if you have other good tips, advice and/or preferences, feel free to speak up in the comments.

#Desklets no background series#

What I am going to present in this series are my own experiences, and my own preferences and procedures. That, in turn, means that I have had to actually work on each of those different desktops, and in most cases I have learned enough about configuration and customization to create a comfortable environment for myself. When I load a distribution, I generally choose whatever the 'preferred' desktop for that distribution is - that means KDE on openSuSE, Gnome on Fedora and Debian, Cinnamon and MATE on Linux Mint, Xfce on Manjaro, and so on. I have quite a few laptops, notebooks and netbooks and I have a number of different Linux distributions loaded on each of those. I will start this post with a disclaimer: I do not claim to be an expert on Linux desktops in any way, or by any stretch of the imagination.
