    Desktop Icons overlap?


    Hey,

    normally there is a minimum distance between the icons on the desktop.

    However, this is no longer present with me. (see picture)

    Of course I find it very annoying when the distances between the icons are different and they can even overlap.

    I am not sure if this has anything to do with the programs Wallpaper Engine (https://store.steampowered.com/app/431960/Wallpaper_Engine/) or Fences (https://store.steampowered.com/app/607380/Fences/).

    :)

  2. 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.
