Set Desktop Layout Colors and Properties
The Desktop layout defines a single-layer workspace or defines the layout for one tab or page in a multi-layer workspace. With the Desktop layout, users directly control where apps are positioned as well as their sizes. Users can right-click within the desktop area to tile or cascade app positions. Or they can minimize apps to a dock at the bottom of the workspace or open minimized apps.
To define the color theme for desktop layouts using two buttons in the
Mashboard toolbar
Color: choose one of the preconfigured colors as the background color for the desktop area of the workspace. For gradient fills, this is the primary color.
Gradient: determines whether the background color is a
gradient or a solid
plain fill.
You can also set the initial size to use for apps added to the desktop:
1. Click
Options and open the
Workspace Layout tab.
2. Update the Default Width and Default Height properties as needed. These default to 500 by 400 pixels respectively.
