Hi, I'm new to Litestep but I'm finding my way around. I realized IconDesk doesn't support moving and changed my desktop module to xDesktop... Configured the way I wanted, but I was unable to solve this particular issue: My icons are ugly, I think transparency isn't working... Here's a pic to illustrate my problem:

I guess it doesn't need any further explanations... I'm using Windows XP SP-1, and default Windows icons.

Is this solvable or it's xDesktop's limitation?

Thanks in advance

I'm guessing you're using xDesktop 1.7.5? Try switching to 1.7 instead. The problem you're having is a known issue in the lastest version.

I'll try that, thanks

Worked like a charm :) Thanks a lot

Btw, is there any way to dinamically changexDesktopAddPositionX / Y ? Because if I add a lot of files they'll be all over each other =/

I believe that's a new feature not in 1.7. But, what you can do is just use this bang:

!xDesktopCreate replace ".desktop"

That will recreate the desktop and line up all your icons.
