>>108896406Why would I want to do that
>>108896406Idk I have desktop icons set to off
make a mess out of all my desktop icons?yes, windows does that all the time

>>108896421Me too
>>108896406*Source Engine Ragdoll Noises*
>>108896406No and that looks horrendous. Imagine trying to move something on your desktop and the OS decides to randomly re-arrange all your other icons, shitty anti-feature.
This is so stupid, imagine having desktop icons...
>>108896446There are people with no icons???

>>108896406Why does FagOS dump screenshots onto fucking the desktop instead of in the pictures folder?
>>108896406LMAO
>>108896406I don't use desktop icons, or windows, but if I did I wouldn't want it to do that.
>>108896406Yes, but not by default or as a built-in feature. Is that true of yours?>if no, your argument is completely invalid>if yes, your desktop environment has a default setting that is indefensibly terribleSo what flavour of retard you going for today?
>>108896469Yeah I hardly even look at my deskop, but there are still 4 icons that were automatically created (computer, home dir, network, trash). Gentoo with LXQt.
>>108896406Imagine how much unnecessary resources this stupid ass shit takes up...
>>108896444why would i imagine that when theres a video of it right there?
>>108896406
I tried to advocate for desktop icons once because they can look more or less nice as decorations, i even set them up manually, but since i switched from Windows 5 years ago i literally never use them, either on MacOs or Linux i just use a launcher and shortcuts.
>>108896406>using desktop iconsWindows users really do still live in 2001.
>>108896423Best part is those white icons which turn up from time to time for absolutely no reason.
>>108896406The jeets at apploo turned m-ackos into krashde now?
>>108896406hate how this OS handles icons/placementmost retarded shit everFinder window size sometimes becomes too small for some reason icons for some reason have ugly spaces by default in some directorieshorrid design decisionswon't even use Finder again, sucks that can't remove it from dock no more

You guys are all acting like desktop icons shouldn't be sentient
>>108900602windows 5 doesn't exist pseud
>>108902354Hey at least you can just change your view to align icons to a grid of any spacing of your choosing, on a folder by folder basis if you so desire, at a custom zoom level if you need itPic related cannot get rid of this gigantic gap unless you resize the window (in fact, you can only make it bigger) and there's no way to save zoom levels per folder. Now that is some horseshit.
>>108896417To keep UI designers employed.

>>108896421>Desktop icons off.>No dock.>No launcher.>Only the statusbar at the top.>Launch apps with cmd+space (spotlight)>Install aerospace for i3wm type tilingDont even have to think if this is a mac or not. It's just a unix PC that works.Life is easy
>>108896406Every single normie that uses a Mac that I know of does this. What is about normies and being unorganized retards that just throw all their documents in the desktop? Are they Windows refugees that got traumatized by windows search and file explorer and thinks Finder and the Superbar doesn't work as well? Or are they just lazy?
>>108902760I don't get itwhat gap are you talking about?
Windows can't do this
>>108905530Extremely needed feature for sure...
>>108896406>organize your icons >move clock a bit>now icons are in random order, not even sorted>10 years of organizing icons by hand down the drain>has to rely on screenshots to piece together the desktop how it was before>this might take hours or it may not even be possible>have to extract icon positioning settings from obscure plist or something like that in some obscure folder>ngmi
>>108905517You know perfectly what I'm talking about.I'll give you a challenge. Remove half the spacing between icons. The areas highlighted in red.
>>108905567ok now what?
>>108896417It could've been useful if it did in an organized manner, but it's throwing files around while spazzing.
>>108905134lmao one out of two window managers on linux have this, called shade or roll-up.fluxbox can even have multiple programs have their own tabs inside the same titlebar.google fluxbox tabs to find out how,get it while its hot zoomer
>>108896406Can your OSX desktop do this?
>>108905651Or this?
>>108905658
>>108905661
>>108905621Now remove that half I was talking about
>>108905666I already did, can't you see you faggot?
>>108905673No, I asked you to pour half a glass of water and you just emptied the whole fucking bottle. You failed the assignment there, and I know exactly why.
>>108905680are you just schizo rambling, or do you have an actual vision in mind? I honestly can't tell
>>108896406I am not a homosexual, so I don't care
>>108905691Don't play coy with me.There's 4 settings for label sizes. There's nothing between small and medium.

>>108902529>murder guy>plate on table across the room elevates itself slightly
>>108896469Why would I have any desktop icons? If I need to launch something I just use Super+space for the app launcher, and all my files are organized in folders I can access with my file manager. I don't even look at my desktop 99% of the time I'm using my computer
>>108896406wow thats really cool
>>108906142but where do you put random or temporary text files and spreadsheets if not on the desktop?
>>108906205Documents? Home? Literally any folder?Is the only use for desktop to be a folder for temporary or random files because you're an unorganized slob?
>>108906218I'm not gonna organize random text files, spreadsheets, pdfs, word documents that I'll need only for 2-3 weeks
>>108906246here it is in high resolution too
>>108906246Of course you won't, you're an unorganized slob. I thought we'd already established that?
>>108906257waste of time
>>108906258More than replying to this thread? Doubt it
>>108896406windows cant even move their clock without moving the entire taskbar, and even then they can 't move it
>>108902760Hey anon, go to dolphin's settings and change the label size for icons view to "small". That'll make the gap much smaller.Not intuitive at all, but that's the solution.
>>108905736kwin still has this btw
>>108905134I'm pretty sure KDE Plasma can do this on X11 but not Wayland.
>>108896406hahahahahah oh man that's mhilarious
>>108896406No, Windows 11 cannot have a clock that displays the seconds, that is now lost technology due to jeets.
>>108896469>There are people with no icons???Use case for desktop icons?>>108906142This guy gets it. Imagine using a feature that your OS provides. Only unorganized slobs think like this. Literal loser behavior.
>>108905717Earlier you said:>cannot get rid of this gigantic gap unless you resize the window (in fact, you can only make it bigger)Anon just showed you that he got rid of the gap and now you're saying "well OK, you can make it smaller, but the smallness is not granular enough for me".That's how it looks to an outsider anyway. You aren't explaining what you think should be happening here at all. Use words rather than drawing red bars on UI screenshots and expecting us to read your mind.
>>108910877You're completely right about making it nearly gapless, that was an out he could have used (quoting my mistake) and for whatever reason, he didn't. So I moved a goalpost there.But >>108905567 shows a half, clearly. And this post says "remove half the spacing". It honestly doesn't look that unclear to me.Point is these are 4 options as opposed to pic related. Surely this is generally understood without me going into granular detail as to what is represented here (or maybe drawing some arrows). In the same fashion I missed the "Small" label width setting a lot of people around these parts seem to behave like they haven't used a computer in years and they act like this >>108902354 when it comes to Finder specifically.
>>108905134xfce can but it's useless, never used that feature ever
>>108896433By "bend" you mean "glitch the fuck out" clearly.
>>108896469I only have things on the desktop when I'm working on something, I move and delete everything as needed after I'm done.
Hey, macfag, can your itoy do this?
>>108911146That moving the goalposts without owning up to it that makes your line impossible to follow. You want the gaps smaller, anon makes them smaller. You say you want them smaller again, he makes them smaller again. Internally, without telling us, your position is no longer "the gaps should be smaller" but "I should have more granular control over how small the gaps are" and you expect us to know that we should be focusing on "half" rather than your previous angle of just "smaller". We aren't mind readers ("You know perfectly well what I'm talking about" no we don't. How on earth could we?) and you never say this because you think you'd lose face, so we think you're being a retard.
>>108911453Anon,Half of something is not 85%.

>>108905664>Windows 9X as an argument for problems with windows todayThis isn't even about logging into the computer or access controls it's about logging into the network. you're not being intellectually honest.
>>108911462How does that address anything I just said? I think you're still trying to save face (for some reason, on an anonymous imageboard) so you're coming up with meaningless pilpul. It's incredible to me the lengths people will go to on here just to avoid saying "oh, my bad".Even if this would were somehow a valid point, it goes from ~75 pixels to ~25. If it were 85% it would decrease to ~11 pixels.

That's why the mouth is shut (so nothing gets in) A common thing that also happens irl is people go in a public bathroom reeking of the smell of feces and they'll shut their mouth like that and blow air out their nose to prevent inhaling the air while running out to breathe.Its reflexive behavior we humans have>>108905661the time I disabled compositing on xfce once and this happen but not as extreme>>108896469I disabled desktop icons on xfce and have it where a menu arrow or search launches my apps, also key bindings for all my common appsSuperKey B = FirefoxSuperKey G = GIMPSuperkey E = File ManagerSuper Key T = TerminalSuperKey Q = Task ManagerSuperKey H = BeeRef

>>108911478That's more kinetics than practicality.It only looks cool because it feels like you manipulate docs like material objects.But what do you practically achieve with that?In the end, it's nothing that you couldn't do with just simply selecting items to view them. And you could do that with much fewer actions and complicated graphics than that.Nobody will spend time interacting with docs like that. People need one action to get to an item's content directly. Click-open, click-reveal, click-maximise. They don't do: draw line to select bunch, so then you need to do more actions to actually get to what you needed.It's one example of software being too smart but impractical. No wonder this hasn't gained mass adoption. If it was great it would be widely used.
