   Pro tip. (Amateur tip, really.) When you are giving a webinar directly from your computer, hide your desktop. Especially if your collection of scanned books is right there. This is right up there with blurring or cropping your browser tabs in screenshots.

     On a Mac
     • Open Automator
     • Select the "Run shell script" action
     • Add the following:

     "defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false

     killall Finder"

     • Save this as an application called "DesktopHide."
     • Repeat these steps with "false" replaced by "true"
     • Save this one as an application called "DesktopShow"

     Now you have two little apps to hide/show ur desktop. Use them.

     @mcnees you should switch to GNOME (jk)

     @lffontenelle I used GNOME for years. At one point (early-mid 2000s) my gtk2 and metacity themes had over quarter-million downloads on the old gnome themes website!

     @lffontenelle I sort of miss Gnome, tbh.

     @mcnees I used quite a few themes back in the day! Not so much since Clearlooks and then Adwaita
