Add to Desktop Icon Size

Thu Oct 20, 2016 8:24 pm
Hi,

Firstly can I say what an amazing job KDE 5.8 is. I have always disliked KDE and used Gnome 2 and then Cinnamon, but you have really kicked the ball out of the park and improved the whole design.

My question relates to when I send shortcuts to the desktop. I can't see how to resize the icon or the text. I can left click and hold for 5 seconds and move it, but the resize is greyed out. In MS Windows which I use at work (I know its different), but I can choose small, medium or large icons and choose to auto-arrange them.

Is any of this functionality possible?

Many thanks

Peter

Yes, you can switch to a "classic" desktop that displays the content of the ~/Desktop folder directly (like Windows does).
If you then right-click on an empty space (or left-click on the toolbox icon in the top-left corner) and choose "Desktop Settings", you can also set the icon size.
