Can't get icons onto desktop

[longcove]

Hello: New to Zorin. After installing Zorin I had desktop icons. Then they disappeared. When I try to get them back I right click on the program, let's say Firefox, the menu flashes up and instantly disappears. Nothing happens! The Trash icon is the only one on the desktop. Tried different themes. Nothing. Tried tearing my hair out. Nothing, possibly because there is nothing to tear.
OS 17.1
Any ideas please?
Thanks

See if you disabled Icons on Desktop option on Zorin Appearance > Desktop. The glitch with the context menu is a known issue, just tweak Intellihide panel settings by right-clicking the taskbar > Taskbar Settings > Intellihide Panel, this glitch is really annoying .

Hi everyone, Just thought I would post a hello. I'm a new Linux user, started with Mint about three months ago but thought I would give Zorin a go (and probably others in the future) I have run in to one quirk with Zorin - if I set the taskbar to intellihide I cant then right click anything on the start menu, if I try the start menu just shuts. I discovered this trying to pin Thunderbird to the desktop. Hopefully I wont run into too many issues such as this

In Addition to @Luca_Pavan's Comment with Zorin Appearance, you should check if the Zorin Desktop Icons Extension is active:
