Hello!
Just discovered this forum... Nice to meet you guys :)
I have the leaked beta installed. Somehow, last night I managed (win+D? Not sure) to hide all my desktop items - shortcuts, system icons, files, and gadgets. Now I can't get them back! The gadgets are still running (I know this because the wallpaper continues to be changed by one), the desktop is empty...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

....duh. And, of course, moments after I wrote this, I right-clicked on the desktop, show desktop icons. Mmmmyeah. But there *is* something different, because I didn't hide them this way...
You probably hit a key combination that toggles the desktop icons hide feature.
If you figure out what you did please let us know lol
Ctrl- A- Del would have done it, but that would be quite an accident!
Hello Gryzor, and welcome to Seven Forums.
I'm happy to hear that you got them back. :)

I just did some experimenting, and the only way 'documented' to hide the desktop icons is the same way the OP found them again - Right click desktop --> View 00> {show/hide} Desktop icons
However, this can be accomplished also by right clicking the Desktop, then hitting the V key and then the D key.
Interestingly enough, though, when performing this, hiding the icons *also* hides the build info painted on the desktop. And since it is this easy to hide DT icons, I can now start playing with Rocket Dock *Yay*
