Anyways, I have a question back on topic about desktop theme. I'm using Desktopfolders which has the famous dont-have-anything-over-the-area-while-recycling feature in it. I assume that desktopfolders is taking a virtual screenshot and then cutting the coordinates out of it based off of the x,y specifications?
If so, wouldn't a better way to do it would be to open the background file virtually, and then locate the proper dimensions and coordinates that way, then copy and paste it into the background of the desktop?
That way, no matter how many windows you had on top of the area where your desktop icons were, it would just be pulling the data from the background file, and not what was actually on the desktop. It seems that whoever could (if in fact this is how it works) program a screenshot/coordinate based background, would make it possible to do the file/coordinate based background. Anyways, if this sounds plausible, lemme know and I'll take a look at the source code and see what I can do.
