DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: new set of desktop icons?



Ouch   :D

     I've always felt that menus and icons were a duplication of effort.

It's probably my desire for an uncluttered worktop......but it always struck me that the essence of DSL was
one of restraint in hardware demands.

Speaking of restraint it should also be invoked for "torquise leisure suits" and their wearers :)

Mission accomplished - I now have a desktop with only the icons I want. The rest are in the menus, which also contain my extra apps. Very sweet and clean

They are pretty easy to change, once you know how. Each icon has a link and a gif in /home/damnsmall/.xtdesktop or whatever user desktop you are using.

For icons you don't want just move them to another directory. I made an extra directory there called saved. Open one of the the .lnk files with a text editor and you will see that its location, gif, and command is easily changed.

Enjoy.
Arrrgh!! Crappy free servers. Try this link instead

Hopefully that one works.
Good.  You can also edit the text label to what you want, which is nice.  The xZGV icon has me puzzled.  What is it?
Its an image viewer (jpg, gif, etc). If you have some images  just open it and view them.
