### 8. KFM Configuration: Desktop Icons

In this screen, you can control the default spacing of the icons on your KDE desktop, and how their names are displayed.

- Specify the ``Horizontal Root Grid Spacing'' and the ``Vertical Root Grid Spacing'' to chose the hidden grid on which the desktop icons will, by default, be placed.
- The icon names appear as text below the icon. By default, the text appears on a small opaque rectangular background that hides the Desktop wallpaper below. To remove this background, activate ``Transparent Text for Desktop Icons''.
- Click on the ``Icon foreground color'' box to chose the color of the text giving the icon name.
- Click on the box ``Icon background color'' to chose the color of the background on which the icon name is written. (Inactive if "Transparent Text for Desktop Icons" is selected.)
- You may also choose activate the feature ``Show Hidden Files on Desktop''.

Click on "Apply" to apply configuration changes to your current desktop. "OK" applies the changes and exits, while "Cancel" exits without applying the changes.
