The cursor hand shape when hovering over the icon:

Am I only one think its weird? (I am not talking about the cursor theme)

    algent no, its not about theme, the cursor shouldn't change.

    Sorry, I don't have an old Budgie, so here is a Windows 10 gif 😅

        Solarmass no, its not about theme, the cursor shouldn't change.

        I have it change so it's more obvious that it is clickable. The default icon theme is Papirus so that is what it's tested against, where the hand doesn't look like it is "grabbing" but rather pointing. No different to how links on a page typically change to a pointer cursor.

            @JoshStrobl I recently did a software update last week and again today and ever since I have lost my desktop icon view. Is there a way to get it back? I have the Desktop Icons toggled in the Budgie Desktop Settings but no luck/response. I am new to Linux/Solus and have loved it for the past year. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

              It changed from using Nautilus to Budgie Desktop View so you need to re-enable it by flipping the switch again.

                  JoshStrobl I flipped multiple times and restarted with it switched on and off. Still no change or response.

                      I would turn it on then check via ps -aux | grep 'budgie-desktop-view' to see if the process is running. Additionally check that you have budgie-desktop-view installed (you should, it's a rundep).

                      If the us.getsol.budgie-desktop-view binary isn't running for some reason, I'd double check to see if you have broken packages, we have a command at the top of our General Troubleshooting Help Center article for that, and run it from the Terminal to see if you happen to have any items that may not be playing nice with the implementation. I know there is an issue currently filed regarding it.

                          JoshStrobl less fine motor controls wanted to easily (and gradually) change their volume.

                          They are very nice for that, indeed.

                            Is it possible to revert back to the previous program that controls the desktop icons' behaviour?

                              JoshStrobl That was the previous version of Nautilus, as explained in both our roundup blog post and this Budgie one. Budgie Desktop View is the way forward.

                              Since they, you know, removed the feature from Nautilus ages ago. Holding back Nautilus indefinitely just isn't feasible.

                                JoshStrobl Yes, of course.
                                I love the Solus project, and I'm not migrating to any other distro for nothing in the world.
                                Thank You for everything that you do.

                                I just hate to look all the icons at the left side of the screen, without a possibility to rearrange them in their own places. Like hysterics, i'm scratching the desktop. hahaha - lol

                                I suppose, I'll have to hide the icons for now. 😄

                                    solus_me I personally, ummm, strongly dislike, having that personal control of the destkop disappeared from me. But you can make some moves in the Nautilus desktop folder in the interim. What is the interim you ask? They are bringing drag and drop back...in 1.1...no ETA of course...I wish I had a time machine🙂👽

                                      JoshStrobl budgie-desktop-view 1.0 is installed. when I ran ps -aux | grep 'budgie-desktop-view' this is what I got back: 2344 0.0 0.0 216576 2280 pts/0 S+ 18:41 0:00 grep budgie-desktop-view

                                      Is this the right command to run to see if I have broken packages?
                                      sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall

                                      Also what can I do to fix the broken packages? I'm new to linux and not very savvy with all this. If there is an issue filed regarding this will I just have to wait for a new update? Thanks!
