Hide Icons on Desktop = Jagged Background Image

Right-clicking on Desktop to hide Icons transforms a a crystal-clear
Background Image (eg. Bliss), to a "jagged" display. I have tried to find a
solution to this by searching this forum and also a by general search using
Google. This produced no related solution but perhaps my input was not clear
enough.

I leave my desktop absolutely clear of any icons, and instead have a Toolbar
pointing to Desktop on my Taskbar. Would appreciate any input by someone who
tried this.

Thank you

I have no idea what you mean? As I right click on my desktop all of the
time. And it never turns the background to a jagged display.

I too leave my desktop free of icons as well. In fact any install that
places any icons to the desktop won't show either. As I use Aston Shell
and this is how it works. And you have a desktop folder under the Start
button if you want access to them.

And here is what my desktop looks like:

Thanks Bill for your input. I will be keeping a copy to that link, but first
I want to resolve this issue without plugins.
