Zorin OS - How To Add Icons on Desktop

On Zorin, one can easily put icons on desktop by a particular way described below:

- open start menu
- find one application
- right-click
- add to desktop
- it added to desktop
- repeat these for another application

(Zorin Education version 12 with many shortcut icons on desktop area )

Alternatively, one can do it by using file manager:

- open Home foldera
- go to folder /usr/share/applications/
- appear many icons of applications such as LibreOffice
- select an application icon
- copy
- paste into Desktop folder on Home
- that application appears on desktop area
- repeat these for another application.

(File manager showing a tab of /usr/share/applications and a tab of Desktop folder to copy them into)

Warning!

There are many people carelessly instructing you to use command sudo nautilus to get administrator file manager. Do not use the command sudo nautilus but instead use gksudo nautilus if you want administrator file manager. The sudo is for command line programs while gksudo is for desktop programs. Using sudo for desktop program is unsafe and has risks of configuration conflicts.

GNOME 3 + McMojave Theme Pack

(GNOME 3.30 customized with McMojave theme pack)

Last time I applied Mojave theme on KDE Plasma and this time I want to apply similar thing onto GNOME 3. I use Fedora 29 as the basis, however, you can do it on any other GNU/Linux distro. As the composition, I use here McMojave as both Shell and GTK3 themes, and then Mojave-CT icon theme, plus two additional GSEs namely Desktop Icons and Dash to Dock. Don't worry even if you have no experience in desktop tweaking, as I have published GNOME customization preparations article before this tutorial. Go ahead, have fun, and enjoy!

Bring Back Desktop Icons on GNOME 3.30


If you use GNOME 3.30 or later, you may find that 'icons on desktop' feature does not exist anymore. You cannot add anything to your personal Desktop folder like you usually did. Fortunately, thanks to csoriano, this removed feature can be added back by installing Desktop Icons  extension. You will find this extension useful if you use latest GNOME on Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, and Ubuntu if the Nautilus version is over 3.26. This article shows how it looks from openSUSE Tumbleweed GNOME. Try it and enjoy!
