How to show/hide desktop icons on ubuntu.

If your desktop ever looks as cluttered as the 'Before' pic below you will definitely find this method useful!

If you like my wallpaper you can get it here (http://bit.ly/35rzNB). The word at the bottom means 'Spring'. I've put it in Greek to add a touch of mystery to the wallpaper:)

  2. So thats what Llovizna is!:D It means drizzle in English right? cool:)

    Actually I used Greek coz it's always said that something that could not be understood 'looks like Greek', and in this case it actually is!

    Anyways the word looks lovely too..

  3. Harini Sirisena please accept my thanks and congratulations on the success of your recent work. I think your article is a great motivator for many students who need a little extra push. Our schools are doing a good job with limited resources, and they appreciate all the help we can give them. Thanks again for such uplifting coverage.
