5.2.1 CE desktop
The CE desktop consists of a background picture with icons placed on it. The
background picture is delimited at the bottom by the program line with the start menu.
The background picture is monochrome. The colour can be chosen from a 16-colour
palette. Additionally, either a picture in bit map format (*.bmp) can be placed in the
centre of the desktop, or the desktop can be filled with repetitions of this picture.
The icons represent links to programs. They have the same icon as the program itself.
The name of the link can be freely chosen. The icons are automatically placed in
columns from top to bottom, arranged from left to right, beginning in the top left-hand
corner. The user can remove them, add to them or move them.
