When I first saw the 2014 icons spread across the dock, I cringed. I liked the 2013 icons just fine, but the new ones seem cartoonish and silly and what I'd expect to see on a young child's computer. In exploring the Control Center I found a ridiculously large assortment of icon styles and/or colors, and I was relieved. The only problem is I can't get the icons to change. I assumed that a simple mouse click would select the new choice and when I did that the new icons were highlighted in the Control Center. But nothing changed on the desk top. I played around with double clicking and dragging, but nothing seems to work. I tried logging out and back in -- no change. I tried restarting -- no change.

My initial relief that I would be able to change the icons has given way to utter despair. How much longer can I go on having to look at those ridiculous little cartoons? I'll never be able to take Deepin seriously if I can't remove the offending blots on an otherwise very fine desk top.

I'll make a deal with you, I'll persevere if you will either tell me what I'm doing wrong or fix the bug that prevents my changing the icons. Hurry, I can't last long.
