Off-topic: @ricklinux what’s the icon theme you are using. It has that OSX look about it.
Which desktop was it as i change a lot?
Honestly i really can’t tell you because i’m always reinstalling so it could have been anything. I just wouldn’t recall it right now. I have had every desktop loaded mutiple times and then some.
Edit: Unless it’s from today? Where’s that image from?
Edit: I think that’s an older one as i didn’t post any image of that today. Sorry.
