HowTo hide and unhide the desktop icons
i used to make desktop shortcuts that switched my pin files
for example:
executing pin0 from the CLI or a desktop shortcut displays the original pinboard
executing pin1 from the CLI or a desktop shortcut displays the the pinboard that's saved in a file called pb_1
executing pin2 from the CLI or a desktop shortcut displays the the pinboard that's saved in a file called pb_2
call the pinboards whatever you like
1 2 3 Susan John ... any name you like
this way you can organize your desktops better
for example, you could have a work desktop ... a multimedia desktop ... an internet desktop ... Susan's desktop ... John's desktop
all you have to do to switch desktop backgrounds is click the desktop icon
the desktop scripts can have an xli command to switch the wallpaper too, if you like
