Desktop Folders - how can I customize like before in 10.4?

I apologized if this has been asked already but I have searched high and low here.
Probably a simple question (setting somewhere) but I'm stumped! How can I "turn off" the alphabetical ordering of the files on my desktop; even more so, how can I just drag the files around and put things where I want.
Thanks in advance all,

View > Show View Options. It's most likely set to Sort by: Name. You can chose sort by none, which will allow you to mess your Desktop up to your heart's desire

    There isn't a built in way to do that since all the navigation toolbars are on one toolbar.
    You can restore this functionality by installing the Classic Theme Restorer add-on

    In SP3 you can get a DesktopBackingContext, from which you can get the desktop's definitionLabel or title. Perhaps that will work for you?

  • How can I customize my terminal?[SOLVED]

    I'm using xterm and /bin/zsh, but it looks ugly. It's a white background with a black text. On debian, I use to right click and hit preferences and went from there. But when I right click it just highlights the shell. How can I customize background color, change font, etc?

    He/she lists everything they are using right under the screenshot:
    Much of the same from my other submission...
    Arch Linux with Awesome WM and custom tile layout. Also using Compton for composition.
    Firefox Nightly (Australis) [v31.0a1] and 4-Chan with my CSS. Using Vimperator for navigation.
    (Firefox CSS can also place an url-bar on top (below the tabs or merged with the tabs on the left) or at the bottom of the browser)
    Terminals (URxvt-256color) showing from left: screenfetch and ncmpcpp + mpd.
    My files can be found at twily.info (files updated for this theme May 17th, 2014)
    The Lemon font and my vol/bat widgets belong to github.com/phallus.

    If I was you, I would go through each thing listed and figure out each one.  Understanding each element is essential.

  • How can I customize the packing slip to reorder the products?

    How can I customize a packing slip or invoice so that the products show up in numerical order and Not in some random order (maybe how they were put into the cart?) ?  There HAS to be a way to do this! 

    We don't use the installation maker built into the application builder, instead we use a third party tool that is free and gives additional options; like including a license and to split the installation set to fit on floppies. It's called Inno Setup and can be found on: http://www.jrsoftware.org/. It is script-based but also has a nice wizard.
    Inno Setup does not give you much room for splash screens though. There are a number of shareware alternatives (not all free as Inno as far as I've seen) that does, if you do a search for installer makers on download.com you'll get a list of them.

  • How can I customize the stylesheet of webdynpro applications?

    Hello experts,
    how can I customize the Look & Feel (e.g. background color) of webdynpro applications?
    I refer e.g. to UWL which is opened by a task link in an email and opens as as webdynpro application in a separate window. It appears in the typical SAP blue. I would like to change the color.
    The portal´s customization does not affect webdynpro applications.
    Thanks in advance for any hint.

    Hi Avi
    Yep, that's what you get with AIR output. You have to live
    with the skins the AIR layout provides. I suppose if you are a FLEX
    developer you might be able to change the skins. But it is what it
    is.
    You might consider submitting a Wish Form to ask the
    development team to allow us more flexibility with AIR skins. Or to
    even create a way for the AIR app to use elements of the WebHelp
    skins.
    Click
    here to visit the Wish Form.
    Cheers... Rick

  • TS1410 By mistake I disconnected my iPod Classic when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes (have tried resetting and rebooting).

    By mistake I disconnected my iPod (5th generation) when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes? I have tried resetting and rebooting. And my iTunes is up to date on my macbook pro, mountain lion, OS X 10.8.
    Thank you!

    The iPod's filesystem may be corrupted.  This may seem like overkill, but it has been known to help many others in the same boat.  Try doing a low level reformat of the iPod's hard disk using the instructions in this article.

    What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.
