i created a small script that deletes all unwanted icons and writes the objects (home, harddisk and cd-drives shown with rox) dynamically to .xtdesktop. it works fast and is easily expandable.

I think we should have the option to have icons in the extensions.
I think that we should not have to worry about icon collisions. Extension icons overlaying existing desktop icons.
I think that we should be able to add/delete/change desktop icons and they should be able to be backed up.

This will be a forthcomming feature.

Thanks all, icons are winging their way in, as is a new theme.

roberts, RE: collision detection, I don't know what you guys have planned, but could a possible solution (probably extremely messy and longwinded) be a script that greps the current icon links for their position values, checks if the incoming icon's values are within x-amount range of any of those values, and alters the incoming icon's link until it's position is no longer infringing on any existing icon?
Yeah, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
