    "align to Grid" grid Size: What is the grids size and how can I draw it!

    What I want to do: Create a desktop backround of gridlines that are synced to the "align to Grid"grid.

    What I'm going for: I am trying to create visual vertical and horizontal lines of Microsofts invisible "Align to grid" grid. (sidenote: Why????, Because i'm that guy who for some reason wants to actually see the grid as a desktop backround... nice neat little
    squares of joy! )

    1. What is the align to grid size default?

    2. What is the single positive or negative data value of the icon spaceing? Someone please explain what that single number is, where does it come from... What does that mean.... the single positive or negative data value of the icon spaceing... is it
    a combination of px X px, is it the x/y of the grid ....

    3. Is there an "Align to grid" template out on the web or do I need to create my own? has some person already done this?

    Suddenly I have an "Alignment Grid" on my screen. How can I remove it? I tried tools to get rid of it. No luck.

    Alignment grid

    My desktop icons move to a grid on the left for no reason

    Hello,

    If your icons are aligned to a grid, this means that the settings of your desktop are currently auto arranged and automatically aligned. Since you want to rearrange your desktop icons on however you like them, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Right-click at a blank area on your desktop.
    • Hover on View.
    • In the right pane, look for Auto arrange icons. If it's checked, make sure to uncheck it.
    • Hover again on View.
    • This time, look for Align icons to grid. If it's checked, make sure to uncheck it.

    After doing these steps, you'll be able to rearrange all your desktop icons again on how you want it.

    Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance, feel free to post back.
