< Main Desktop
The desktop lies behind all of the other components on your visible desktop. The desktop is not an active component of the user interface. It displays the image you selected in the Settings app and does nothing else. In particular, you cannot place files on the desktop, even if you store them in the Desktop folder in your home folder.
