I thought maybe it was a bug in Big Sur 11.4 but I eventually found the solution.</p> <p>There is a command to hide the icons on the desktop:</p> <pre><code class="language-bash">defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop FALSE; killall Finder </code></pre> <p>I don’t remember running it, but by setting <code>CreateDesktop</code> to <code>TRUE</code> and restarting Finder, all my icons showed back up!</p> <pre><code class="language-bash">defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop TRUE; killall Finder </code></pre> <p>To make this easier in the future, I added a function to my shell:</p> <pre><code class="language-bash"># Pass TRUE or FALSE - toggles desktop icons on and off. function toggle_desktop_icons() { if [ -z "$1" ] then echo "You must pass 'TRUE' or 'FALSE' to this function!" echo "Try 'toggle_desktop_icons true' or 'toggle_desktop_icons false'" echo "" echo "Aborting!" return 0 fi defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop $1; killall Finder } </code></pre> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://setapp.com/how-to/hide-icons-on-mac">The Easiest Way To Hide Desktop Icons On Mac – Setapp</a></li> </ul>Andrew Mason
