[SOLVED] Rename desktop icon

Post by Peter Linu »

Hiyall,
My question is pedantic but annoying. The standard 'Computer' icon does not fit on one line so the last 'r' is on the second line. I would prefer the icon to be called: 'Cmptr' but right clicking does not give me this option.

How do I do it?

Right-click on the desktop and select "Customize" in the settings window that opens.
Then adjust the horizontal grid setting until the icon text is on one line.

Thank you af,
didn't work however I replaced 'Computer' with 'Home' which does work. Many ways to skin a cat in Linux!
