|
|
Some time ago my desktop icons disappeared. I had to start with a clean config to get them back. Now I have icons on my dekstop but I can't move them ( if I drag a icon it comes back to it's previous position). How can I tell e17 that I wan't my desktop icons to be positioned manually?

Right click on any desktop icon -> View Mode -> Custom Icons
Definitely a feature you just weren't aware of. I like grid better as a default tbh. _________________

I have done it. I can't move my icons anyway. They only get messier then ( when I select "grid icons" icons are arranged in rows/columns and when I choose "custom icons" they get as close to each other as possible). |

I've the same problem. Especially if you want a taskbar/launcher thing to be on the top of the screen, this makes for a very annoying issue as the icons are half hidden.
The icons keep flipping back to their original position no matter what option you select. _________________ 0mFg, G3nt00 r0X0r$ T3h B1g!1111
Use sane CFLAGS! If for no other reason, do it for the lulz! |

I used e17 quite a while ago. I had the same problem as you guys.
However, what fixed it for me was to delete the e17 configuration directory in my home and start over.
If I messed with too much configuration, I got the problem. So as long as I *behaved* everything works .
Don't know if it's still the case though... |

Unluckily not for me. I have another user ( who doesn't use e17) I removed that users ~/.e and started e17.... and experienced exactly the same problem. |

I guess that is the downside if you use an experimental version. I switched to XFCE because it kept crashing and stuff. |
