Re: Icons on desktop
Yes, that works. I was looking for a way to disable the icons THROUGH the extension, assuming that I couldn't do it through the desktop.

Re: Icons on desktop
Aw, Ralf, you gave it away! I always did think it was odd that the GUI settings have steadily migrated away from the detailed options once available in dconf, to a user experience that "just works," but at the same time is severely dumbed-down. Desktop icons are the latest casualty.

Hi, my first guess is dconf. $ gsettings list-recursively | grep gnome | grep icons org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false [snip] The dconf secret seems to be the first hit of my first dconf check. If so, it took me just less than 10 seconds to run $ gsettings --help $ gsettings list-recursively | grep gnome | grep icons However, while some GTK4 apps still might be tolerable, probably all apps will become unusable for serious usage after the migration to GTK{5,6,7,n}. I'm not a GNOME user at all, but I'm using openbox and a lot of GTK apps. I already dropped countless GTK apps, because GTK developers run berserk.

Icons on desktop
In the default install, there is no longer a switch to hide icons on the desktop. It used to be in Gnome-Tweaks and there was an extension named Desktop Icons NG (DING) that also had it. The option has been deprecated from both. I found it, but I'm not telling you where, because I'm afraid that you'll delete it, too. I DON'T WANT ANY ICONS ON MY DESKTOP I want a GUI option to hide them. Hide them all, not just volumes. Sorry, this is not a standard, careful bug report. It may not be through the proper channels. But it's a very, very simple thing. Please bring back the desktop icons switch. Thanks.
