LXDE Forums

Hello everyone,

I just recently installed arch Linux and wanted to give lxde a try. It looked great, than I right clicked on the desktop and clicked something that made my desktop icons disapear. Now I get a completely different menu when I click on the desktop. I cannot figure out how to turn the old desktop setup back on.

I've searched around on the net and have not found anything relating to this topic.

Can anyone lead me in the right direction.

thanks

Open pcmanfm the file manager and go to Edit --> Preferences to the tab Desktop and make sure the Manage the desktop and show file icons checkbox is checked this will give you your desktop icons back. And if you would rather have the menu back you had make sure Show menus provided by WM when desktop is clicked is unchecked.

Thank you so much.
