Yeah, I just got litestep and everything seems pretty cool except I just cant stand not being able to move my desktop icons around. It's driving me insane. Is there a module that fixes this? I'm just to lazy and tired to figure it out myself, thanx.

This should probably be made sticky, as you're the 10^18th person to ask.

Krhm.

Even though xLabel tries very hard, Litesteps desktop emulation is not yet perfect and as of now, there is no solutions to adequately reproduce the desktop enviroment found in the original explorer. Sorry.

The most obvious solution is to adopt a different computer usage philosophy, and find other, equally good alternatives for desktop icons (hotkeys (which I prefer), better use of the popup, some kind of a quicklaunch bar).

I hope that this minor setback does not drive you away from litestep. Have patience.

Warma - You are right! This sould be made sticky. The best aproach to the "Desktop Enviroment in Explorer" are:

- xdesktop-1.0.1
- xlabellight-3.0.6

If you don't want to do big changes use xdesktop. But i don't think LiteStep should be used by "lazy ppl" (no ofense Shadouts) ... yet ;) .
