Hide desktop items on Mac #27

Open Booligoosh opened 5 years ago

Booligoosh commented 5 years ago

This terminal command will hide everything on your desktop, so it doesn't give you anxiety 😅

It doesn't actually delete the stuff on your desktop, it just hides it. You can still access the items by going to your Desktop folder in Finder.

defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false;killall Finder

And to show them again, you can do this:

defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true;killall Finder
