I'm pretty new to litestep, and i really enjoy it so far. but as far as desktop icons go, it kind of pisses me off. is there any way to add a module or edit code so that you can move icons around on the desktop or add the recycbin to the desktop? i'm still used to xp and its functionality but i wanted something with more features to it. any help would be appreciated.

You cannot do that currently. Not with IconDesk anyway, apparently xlabel supports something along these lines.

The problem is that the desktop icons are part of Explorer, and LS has to emulate them. The desktop icons module IconDesk is still a work in progress, and I expect that it will support icon moving eventually.

thanks ilmcuts. i appreciate your help.

You're welcome; I'm sorry though that I couldn't really present a solution. Besides using xlabel, but that may be a non-trivial task.
