Description

Add the ability to hide or show all desktop icons through the right-click context menu, similar to functionality found in modern desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).

Current Behavior

• Desktop icons are always visible
• No option to hide icons from view
• Desktop cannot be cleared for a clean look

Expected Behavior

Users should be able to:

• Right-click on empty desktop area
• Select "Hide Desktop Icons" or "Show Desktop Icons" from context menu
• Toggle visibility state that persists across sessions
• Access files normally through other means (file explorer, search) while icons are hidden

Use Cases

• Clean workspace: Temporarily hide icons for presentations or screenshots
• Distraction-free: Reduce visual clutter while working
• Wallpaper showcase: Better view of desktop background
• Professional settings: Clean desktop appearance for screen sharing

Proposed Solution

Add context menu option that:

• Appears in desktop right-click menu
• Toggles between "Show Desktop Icons" and "Hide Desktop Icons"
• Saves preference to user settings
• Maintains icon positions when shown again

Steps to Test

1. Right-click on empty desktop area
2. Select "Hide Desktop Icons" from context menu
3. All desktop icons disappear
4. Right-click again and select "Show Desktop Icons"
5. Icons reappear in original positions
