Description Fri13 2008-11-29 14:45:38 UTC 
Version:           KDE 4.2 Beta 1 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources


KDE 4.2 Beta1 has great feature to easily get old fashioned icons on desktop.

If this old way, is going to stay, it would be nice to get a change to have icons on right side too, just like on Mac OS X.

The current configuration on Folder View Settings > Display > Icon Arrangement and from there "Arrange icons:". You can have two options, "Left to Right" and "Top to Bottom".

We use lots of desktop corners for KWin effects and plasmoids can be placed around desktop too, so why not icons too? You can manually move them where you want and lock them there, but this does not work well on new files.

So what if adding a two new options about these already implented modes, but those would start from right side.

1) Left to Right (Left)
2) Top to Bottom (Left)
3) Right to Left (Right)
4) Top to Bottom (Right)

Or other one:

1) Left to Right
2) Right to Left
3) Top to Bottom (Left)
4) Top to Bottom (Right)
