So in my search for a desktop to my liking I followed a tutorial for Xdesktop. The dll's wouldn't download so I googled and found them then my problem was I had two set of icons. Playing around in the config files I managed to delete the set that is usual for the Austerity theme, but then suddenly my computer became extremely slow and the icons would seemingly duplicate themselves each time I moved them etc... Finally I had to reinstall the original theme. Any links to a better usage of Xdesktop or a more viable solution would be welcome... in the meantime I shall keep on digging hehe
