Why this is a good first issue

Multiple Desk-related UI issues require careful handling and testing.

AI Summary

The issue involves multiple Desk-related UI problems in version-16, including icon updates, folder creation, and edit mode issues. The contributor has already prepared a fix branch, but it requires maintainer assistance to open a PR. Testing and validation are crucial due to the UI/UX impact.

Issue Description

Hi, I worked on a fix for several Desk issues on version-16, but I’m not able to open a PR directly from my account, so I’m sharing the branch here in case a maintainer can help submit it upstream.

Branch: https://github.com/Akshay-Arijentek/frappe/tree/fix/desk-icon-layout-shortcuts

Commit: 77db912026

Main issues fixed:

  • adding the same item to the desktop again could fail with an error
  • some desktop icons were not updating properly after changes
  • deleted icons could still show up again after refresh
  • shortcut icons like POS / Employee Portal could disappear or not load correctly
  • the “Add to Desktop” success message was not showing
  • Desk could break if icon color/style data was incomplete
  • in edit mode, right-click menus could pile up and make the page messy
  • creating folders was awkward and often ended up with Untitled names
  • adding items to folders and saving the layout was not always stable

I tested this locally on version-16, and the branch is already pushed and ready.

If possible, could a maintainer or contributor help open a PR from this branch? @sokumon
