Moving icons
You can move an icon in the following ways:
• drag it
Once you start to drag an icon, its horizontal and vertical position (number of pixels from the top and left side of the window pane) are displayed in the status bar.
• move it one pixel at a time
Select the icon, then press Control-Shift (Windows, Linux) or Option (Mac OS, Mac OS X) while using the arrow keys. As is the case for dragging, the icon's horizontal and vertical position is shown in the status bar.
• specify its horizontal and vertical position.
Open the icon's object properties, then update the "Horizontal position" and "Vertical position" fields.
Aligning icons to the grid
You can tidy up icons by aligning them to an invisible grid. To do this:
1 Click the window pane.
2 Choose View > Line Up Icons to Grid.
If you can't move an icon
If you can't move an icon, check whether:
• your administrator has not given you permission to move objects
• the icon is protected
• you have "Lock icon positions" selected on the Icons tab of the View Properties form.
Locking icon positions
To lock icons in position so that they cannot be moved, select "Lock icon positions" on the Icons tab of the View Properties form.
Showing the background behind icon titles
If you apply a background image to a pane, you will notice that icon titles have a white background. As you can see from the example of the pane background above, this is useful for readability when backgrounds are dark or busy.
If you do not want this white background, select "Transparent text" on the Background tab of the View Properties form. Your icon will then look something like this:
 Hiding icon titles
If you do not want to see the text associated with an icon, select "Hide icon titles" on the Icons tab of the View Properties form.
