Change the desktop background to a solid color while hiding the icons!


Some users sometimes need a clean, monochrome desktop with no icons, this is easy to do no on Windows 11, 10, ... etc. and MS Server OS!



Content:

1.) ... Activating the monochrome desktop and how it works!
2.) ... What is this good for, what can I do with it? 


1.) Activating the monochrome desktop and how it works!

1. Start ► AutoHideDesktopIcons for MS Windows as always  

2. Activate the option: Change the desktop background to a color

3. Now not only the desktop icons are hidden, but the desktop color is also changed

(... see Image-1 Point 1 and 2)

How it works!

No system settings are changed here, or the desktop background image / wallpaper on the system, as it was determined during development that Windows takes a long time, 1-3 seconds, and the desktop flickers. The program creates a mouse-permeable window that is placed exactly over the wallpaper area. So here the desktop background is covered by this window in the color you preset!
