When I scroll across my homescreen icons in Zen is there supposed to be words that show up next to the icons to tell what they are? I've checked "show application names" in the home screen option, but clicking "show app names" doesn't do anything. I am doing something wrong?

You are using an older Zen theme. Search around the forums as I believe when you upgrade to the newer version that option is removed.

But I want that option. I would like for the names of the homescreen apps to show up. Is there any way to do that?
