Description

I normally use windows and when she passed behind me the Tails desktop looked suspicious so when I went for a wee she sneaked back to check it out and found out what I’ve been up to with Tails.

Hopefully you can bring the Windows obfuscation feature back as I can’t survive another night in the cold.

It’s necessary to ensure that you don’t leave Tails open and unattended. While I do miss the old Windows XP theme, such things can’t be relied upon. I believe it was removed because Tails moved to the newer version of their window manager (the program on Linux that handles the layout of open windows) which did not support sufficiently customizable theming for the old Windows design.

Next time, consider shutting down the computer before leaving it, or take it with you.
