  1. Desktop icons are too widely spaced apart


    My desktop applications are too widely spaced apart.

    How do I revert it back to when all my apps could be placed in a grid-format along the left-hand side of the screen?

    :)

  2. Desktop icons are set wide apart and words overlap

    Hi.

    To modify the size of the icons we will make a very simple process, press right click on any blank space on the desktop and select the option View.

    We can see that by default the size of the icons is medium.

    If we decide to use the Small Icons option we will notice the modification and we will see the desktop in the following way.

    In this way we can modify the different sizes for the icons on the desktop. But there are other aspects that we would also like to modify, which we are going to analyze.

    Let us know if these steps help you to resolve the issue.

  3. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
