Does anyone else keep their desktop completely (or almost completely) icon-free?

    I just have a Rainmeter thing and nothing else, 5 icons on the transparent taskbar.

    Why did you keep the bin?

  2. I have only:

    My Computer (old habits)

    Recycle Bin (old habits)

    MPC-HC

    me, I have nothing on desktop except the bin, which I can’t remove.

    I use rocketdock that pops up from the top of the screen. 1 folder called temp in the lower right corner where i dump small shit that’s for later. That’s it. Classic shell with pinned stuff on it. Taskbar has only firefox and winamp pinned to it.

    I despise having more than like three items in my taskbar so I pretty much do the opposite and everything is on the desktop. Granted I don’t have a sick ass wallpaper so I don’t really care. I think I got the windows calculator, file explorer, and chrome in my taskbar and that’s all.

    I’m on oled so I just keep it completely empty and pure black.

    My computer, trash, 1 game shortcut, Program folder. There are only 4 icons on the top left.

    I pin my most used programs on the taskbar and hide everything else, I will search for a program if I need it but yes, everything is hidden. I do have a clock and date usually cause I like seeing them.

    Yea, I think I have like 4/5 ícons and that is it could have less cuz 2 of them are just notepad files x)

    Yup, I either just search or use the terminal.

    I keep it clean.

    The way I access software is by pressing windows key and star typing name of software I’m looking for. Just typing the first 3-4 words brings up the software I’m looking for so hitting enter opens it up.

    This reduces the desktop and taskbar shortcuts to nearly 0.

    Yes, Icons are only in the task bar and i use wallpaper engine with meteo recap and clock on my windows battlestation

    I never thought to but after seeing this I’m going to lol

  15. Yep. Any apps I use I favorite and can find by opening the search function. Then wallpaper engine to animate the background

  16. Only got the trash bin, but it’s on my secondary monitor behind discord.. so I never really see it.

    However, on my other pc, there are files and shortcuts for game servers and mods everywhere 🙃

    34″ ultrawide and a 24″ in portrait mode. Not a single icon to be found. I have folders full of icons in the taskbar.
