Looks like someone made a mess....

Sure looks simple compared to a normal windows desktop.

Someone mentioned that it could be a satellite view.

Quite simple... but everything is right there within reach.  I am sure you know what all of the icons are for.   

The wallpaper looks like a duck, can't ya see the beak?

We are all under the same stars, therefore we are never far apart.

Add up there to keep the desktop clear, of course they could go down onto the desktop area if you wanted too.

Left to right...
Upper left is Applications, similar to the Start button.
Firefox - you know, browser.
Evolution Mail - similar to outlook express.
File Browser - similar to windows explorer.
Terminal - command line.
Bluefish - for editing HTML, PHP files.
gFTP - upload/download files via file transfer protocol(FTP), something like FileZilla, etc.
Trash - similar to recycle bin.
Network - lets you know you are online or not.
Sound - pretty much the same as windows.

Correction edit, again.

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see any icons... :ScratchHead:

Ahhhh! Thanks, Barb! No wonder I didn't see them. I was looking for them all over like mine are... :giggle:

Looks a lot neater than my desktop even though it looks like you spilled something on yours, William... :laugh1:
