Awesome! There is a small issue with the tray though. When I open Chrome - something happens and the whole (and only) panel temporarily disappears (like it's rebooting). And then - there's no Chrome icon in the tray. It used to be there before the update. And I could click on it and "fully" quit from Chrome when I do not need it anymore 🙂

    Happy to hear Budgie development is going strong!

    Anybody know if the bug regarding Ibus candidate window not displaying has been fixed or is not until Budgie 11 as mentioned in the thread I'm linking to? On KDE at the moment, waiting to switch back to Budgie if it will be fixed https://dev.getsol.us/T3066

    I have installed Solus on my wife's old notebook, giving it a new lease of life. I was a bit worried as she only ever used Windows before but she really likes Solus.

    She told me about the disappeared desktop icons today, which were an easy fix. What we did not manage to fix was the right-click behavior on the desktop. In empty parts of the desktop, the context menu only offers budgie and screen settings (IIRC). This means my wife cannot e.g. create a new folder directly from the desktop.

    When clicking right on a file icon, the context menu only seems to offer "Open" and "Open in Terminal". Most of the context menu items available in the file manager are not offered.

    Is this related to the switch to Budgie Desktop View? Are there plans to re-populate the context menus or workarounds?

        nurunet Budgie Desktop View is not a file manager. To create new files or directories, it is expected that Nautilus be used. The previous implementation used to be from Nautilus, however that was deprecated upstream long ago and we happened to just have it because we had held back Nautilus.

            JoshStrobl Thank you, Josh. Yeah, I read the blog post. While I do not use the desktop for file storage, I think many people coming from Windows do - and their workflow seems to partially rely on the desktop functioning like an "always on" file manager instance with a background image.

            But I understand that Budgie Desktop View goes a middle way.

                  mrfoggg Not sure what you mean by that. We have the Places applet, which AFAIK still works. Budgie Desktop View will also show active mounts.

                      I've read about this for a while, but I've never seen what it does, because I can't figure out how to access it. Anyone know how?

                          WetGeek, I believe it's the system for managing icons on the desktop. If in Budgie settings you enable "Show icons on desktop" then you are using Desktop View.

                            JoshStrobl enable desktop icons and voila, you're using it.

                            Indeed. This laptop is host to three VMs with icons on the desktop. All this time I've been using it, and didn't realize there was anything different about the desktop. I'm pretty sure that's by design. Everything I've read about the desktop view makes sense to me now, thanks!
