    While I love the background, the cluttered mass of icons makes my eye twitch. A modicum of organization, please.

    source
    • sinokon@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The only perfect background is to disable all icons and keep it black

        Okay, Patrick Bateman

        I see a background

        And I want it painted black

        No icons anymore

        I want my desktop black

        I’ve used and enjoyed that kind of setup a while back, but my new favourite is to have something that rotates different backgrounds. macOS has their dynamic wallpapers which you can set to cycle through different ones on a regular basis, which I really like. I still don’t like having any icons, though.

        On Android, I use Muzei to get a different artwork as my background every day. It’s also very nice.

      Same. I would go insane with a desktop like that.

      The icons made your eyes twitch, but the Vista didn’t?

        You're sure it's not 7? I loved the glass that 7 had.

        The lesser of problems, I’d wager. Managed to bypass Vista… and 8. shudders

      Hah, as if you’d ever see the icons behind the millions of things I have running

      Yeah what is this 2006?

    Bonus point if you replace Chrome with Mozilla!

      Insallah my brother in the Firefox jihad

      Just change the icon to the chrome ones.

    It looks like he has chrome pinned to his task bar in the bottom left.

      You cannot make enough shortcuts for the elderly.

      source
      • CaptKoala@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        You can, but a desktop composed of entirely shortcuts to chrome I suspect wouldn’t be enough.

        source
    • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      There is also a second desktop icon in the upper left, in the 3rd column.

  • TastyWheat@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’d nearly forgotten all about Vista.

    source
    • jol@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      This looks like windows 7

      source
      • AtariDump@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The start button whose circle is larger than the start menu gives it away that it’s probably Windows Vista

    Right click desktop, create new, folder: Junk

    Drag drop everything but that chrome icon into Junk.

        Not all the pointing people are old memes.

    • HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s like a “water this way” sign in the middle of a desert. The better solution is to get Librewolf and replace the icon with a Chrome one.

        Good way to end up with passwords written on sticky notes

  • AA5B@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Instead of fixing the symptom, maybe you could address the underlying problem of all that clutter on the desktop. ….or pin it somewhere it won’t be encroached by new files

    source
    • Nelots@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s pinned to the taskbar.

      source
      • GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        There are at least twice as many icons s on his desktop as on mine!

        source
    • ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It is pinned to the taskbar

      Also the first icon in column 4

      source
    • Master@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      All of those files look very important and need to stay where they are…

    If you really wanted to have a good time, you could screen-shot everything as is and make that the desktop, then put all the real shortcuts into a folder on the desktop anywhere and watch the fun ensue

    source
    • GreedyYardHippos@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The shortcut was at the tip of the penis

      • Thrickles@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I understood that reference.

  • strongarm@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Never use your desktop to store shortcuts, unless they are very temporary, and then clear up often.

    You have a taskbar and start menu to organise and find everything you need, you can even do startup applications.

      My dude what do you think a desktop is for?

      source
      • AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Wallpapers, obviously.

        source
      • strongarm@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Keeping what you’re working on available.

        It’s not a fileing system

    Most of the time my desktop is covered, so I use folders on the toolbar

    Didn’t think about icons being on a grid, eh? Whoever made this had to turn it off to place the Chrome icon there. Amateur move
