Hi all!
Is there a setting hidden somewhere that allows me to change the gridsize/spacing of the
desktop icons?

Good question Nik,
asusming you are using the "align to grid" functionality, by a quick look in TCC
it seems there isn't any way at the
moment. I have not checked in the code to see if the grid size is customizable.
It would definitely be a nice feature to have though. Highly suggest you create a wishlist
in TGW for tdebase so we
don't forget about it and we can pick it up at some point in future.
Cheers

Ok, a quick check in the code revealed the default spacing of TQIconView is used, which is
5 pixels. The spacing is not
set anywhere in kdesktop, so most likely this is fixed for the time being.

find the setting I might have changed in Trinity Control Center and
no joy. Maybe it'll come to me when I'm in the shower next time. :-)

I'm not sure it was KDE that offered it. IMO it was Windows XP :) ... the last version
I ever actually used - UT99 did not run on Liniux that days. Well, now it does :) I was
told that M$ removed that "feature" from the newer version as well.

Windows does. And TDE will do soon thanks to some good work from Philippe (not yet merged

Dear all,
thanks to the great effort from Philippe, we now have this functionality available in TDE
(both R14.1.x and R14.0.x)
You can change the spacing between icons on desktop from the "Behavior" tab,
with a minimum of 5 pixels.
The functionality works when icons are aligned to the grid and lock in place is
disabled.
If enabled (again in Behavior tab), you can also use Ctrl + Mouse wheel scroll to change
the settings directly from
KDesktop.
For those on PSB/PTB, updated packages should be available soon.
Cheers
Michele
And I just uploaded a new testimage for RPi3+ with TDE 14.1 ... :)
