Oh no! No more transparency for the cube! It seems the desktop also has the transparency in it, so hiding the desktop makes only the top and bottom of the cube transparent.

Hey, thanks for the tip Nykeej. I wasn’t familiar with Ubuntu Tweak ( http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ ), but it looks great tool for power users … exposes lots of little options that are otherwise buried, and some nice package management stuff. It pretty much deserves a dedicated post on this otherwise quiet blog …

I think it’s hard usability problem, there’s no other way to hide the icons?

Holy shit!

Much appreciated.

Also, for anyone wanting to hide just volumes/partitions navigate to:

apps > nautilus > desktop
and uncheck “Volumes Visible”
