How to hide desktop icons?

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1829 / 2 Years ago, sun, october 30, 2022, 5:50:02

After using ElementaryOS I am back on Ubuntu. In eOS one of the features are "no desktop icons" and "no right-click option on desktop" and i prefer that setting, its simple and lightweight and I don't use the desktop anymore, only for wallpapers.

How can I completely deactivate the desktop in Ubuntu 14.10 (like eOS)?

If you install Ubuntu Tweak, on the tweaks tab, there is section that controls desktop icons, and there is a button at the top to disable.

Note you will have to add the testing ppa as the stable version for 14.10 is not yet out.
