Obvious Question about Workbench screen?
« on: July 25, 2006, 07:26:40 PM »
Hello Everyone once again:

This annoys me, so I hope there is a way to save the state here.

My Workbench boots up with Backdrop (under Workbench menu) turned off.  I am always turning it back on at every reboot.

Is there a way to have backdrop on by default?

Thanks,

Mike

You need to snapshot the Workbench in order for backdrop (aswell ass left out icons) to stay that way.
