Sure, you can still have icons, but they're somewhat unsightly (Seriously, who uses the desktop, anyway? It's just a landfill). The UI is effectively your replacement for icons. Line up the Launcher on top of the vertical sidebar. PC up time is fun from a nerdy/stats perspective. Need direction? Just do Launcher, Vertical Sidebar, and CPU/RAM for now. You can also change the positioning (for better layering) and load order (for conflicts and layering). ini indicator, and click on "Load" in the top right area. The last two are the important ones.Įxpand each subdirectory for the widget you want, click on the.
