It&#8217;s a very useful feature for keeping things organized, but you might want to disable it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The desktop always visible, whether you click or not<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being <strong>able to keep icons &#8211; sometimes too many &#8211; hidden on the desktop can be quite useful<\/strong>. A single click allows us to easily access them, and when we don&#8217;t need them, they remain hidden without taking up any space. However, in certain situations, we might want to avoid the extra click. Configuring your Mac to automatically show desktop content is as easy as following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to the Apple menu and select <em>System Preferences<\/em>.<\/li><li>Enter the <em>Desktop &amp; Screen Saver section<\/em>.<\/li><li>In the &#8220;Desktop &amp; Screen Saver&#8221; section, under &#8220;Show items,&#8221; enable <em>&#8220;On the desktop.&#8221;<\/em><\/li><li>Additionally, in the &#8220;Click to show desktop&#8221; section, you can choose &#8220;Only on the Screen Saver&#8221; to prevent windows in front from disappearing with a single click.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing iPhone 15 | WOW | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XHTrLYShBRQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With these simple steps, your Mac <strong>will no longer show the desktop by clearing windows when you click<\/strong> on the wallpaper, and it will always display the contents of folders and files, making it easy to quickly access any content.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 17\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/aa0ea39a-3047-47be-9b3a-938ac771524a\/234379927\/ios-17-download-ios-17.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 17<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That way, whether you need more organization or quicker access to your Mac&#8217;s desktop, you can configure macOS Sonoma to suit your needs best.
