Hey guys!

How can I get rid of "enhanced desktop" in my hd-install? I just want a clean desktop. Thanks in advance!

Have fun everybody,
meo

Meo -

I believe you would just need the 'noicons' bootcode. The commands are in /usr/bin/enhance or /usr/sbin/enhance. I can't remember.

I believe the enhance script is called in the .xinitrc file.

/usr/bin/enhance, and yes it's called from .xinitrc
You can remove that part from .xinitrc and add individual apps if you want a specific dockapp or two to run without the pager or icons.

So, under the dsl menu->desktop, there are three choices: Full Enhanced Desktop, Icons Only, No icons. Does that mean that the fully enhanced desktop is redundant since it's always enhanced no matter what you choose unless you change the .xinitrc file?

I think so. The menu item for "full enhanced" is the enhance script.
"icons only" runs xtdesk, and "no icons" kills xtdesk.
I've been thinking that "icons only" would be more aptly named if it killed the pager and dockapps. Maybe a little modification of the enhance script is in order...
