@sg Yep. The new System Settings app is awful. I mainly use Search. But that’s not great either, as it shows loads if results. Search for Desktop and it shows 12 places that is mentioned over four main categories.
@WarnerCrocker@ianRobinson I had set up a “clear all windows” hot corner, which I used fairly often, so I am used to having that ability. This makes it easier. Have I accidentally clicked on the desktop and cleared windows when I didn’t want to? You betcha.
