I've tried this app on Linux Mint 20.1, which is based on Ubuntu 20.04. I wasn't happy with my desktop icons being resized and Komorebi messed with the icons positioning as well, so I decided to remove it from my computer using Synaptic. Unfortunately for me, after Komorebi was removed, I was no longer able to make my desktop icons show up again, and my desktop settings are now gone, meaning I'm no longer able to right-click on my desktop in order to get to its preferences. It's leading me to believe the only workaround would be a system reformat in order to get that back but I'm on a separated Home partition, so I'm afraid those issues will carry over once reformat and install process are concluded.

I also noted that after installing Komorebi, I can no longer see 'Desktop' on the left column of Nemo, which is an intrusive behavior: never was I asked whether I wanted to get rid of that, and yet I'm unable to do ANYTHING related to my desktop, thanks to this application. I don't mean to be mean but having my desktop messed up with is really upsetting.

If anyone knows how to get around those issues I pointed out, please go ahead and share the knowledge.
If anything, I hope this thread goes to let you know that Komorebi on Linux Mint (specifically 20.1) is not a good idea.

Try running the following two commands, they should hopefully restore desktop funcionality:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true || true
gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true || true
