    Icons on desktop


    Hi, Two questions:1 ¿Is there a way to get the icons on desktop stay highlighting or flashing, to get the user's attention especially?2 ¿Is there a way to attach a sticky note to the icons on desktop, thus adding a short description about the file without opening it?Greetings, Juan.

    :)

  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.

    • Right click on the desktop.
    • Click on view
    • Check the option auto arrange icons.
    Let us know if this helps.

    Thanks.
