Ok I have two questions on that subject...

Sometimes, on some themes, the icons disappear, how do I make them come back? When I say disappear, they are completely gone and all I have is a blank desktop wallpaper...

Also, forgive my piggedness, but I have a lot of Icons on my desktop as of now, and sometimes they are wayyy to far off to the right, and I can't get to some of them, how do I either scroll or fix this?

1) You would need to configure a desktop icon module and install it into each theme without, or put one in your personal.rc and remove it from all the themes with.

2) Icon placement depends on the desktop icon module loaded. Read the docs for whichever module you are using at the time. Some will required you to highlight and drag, others have !Bangs for resets, others are just a config file setting away.

Chances are, the themer had a larger screen resolution than you do, and their settings - including the positions of those icons - are loaded at startup. Sometimes just running the appropriate updating bang for the theme or module will fix that.

A bang is a command provided by the LS core or a module. They are all 'splained in the documentation. You can see all the available bangs provided by your theme by looking in the 'about' box - which can be made to appear by executing the !about bang.
