ShineDesign Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hi, I'd like to add a "workbar" or "second taskbar" if you will, for icons such as folders etc.. which are on my desktop. I've seen them before, but am not sure how to make one. It's just a standalone bar that holds icons, nothing else, and can be positioned at any edge of the desktop desired. I can't find an app with Super Karamba for it, nor anywhere else. Help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 do you mean something like THIS? or, do you just want to add another Kicker bar? if so, i don't think that can be done, though i've never tried it. but, i don't see any options anywhere to do such a thing. you could try making a symlink to kicker in the $/.kde/autostart directory & see what happens.

aperahama Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) You can add a "Child" panel. Right click on the main panel and go to Add>Panel>Child (or some other type of panel there are several). The child panel can be set up how you want it (size, position, etc) from the KDE>LookNFeel>Panels Edited September 22, 2004 by aperahama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineDesign Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Thanks for the replies! The child panel is exactly what I want, however without the arrow button. Just icons. (for that matter, I'd like to take away the kicker arrow button too...) Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 rt-click on the panel, go to the properties (for either panel there, you'll want to do it for both) On the second tab (might be the first) there is a place for "Show hide button" (or something like that) and there should be 3 choices. Right, Left, or No. Choose No (or off, whichever it is) and click apply. I'll try to post a screenshot of exactly what I mean later tonight.

ShineDesign Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Awesome, thanks! One last question, can I get rid of the "dividier" lines that are in between each section of the taskbar? IE: in between the application icons and the multiple desktop section, there's a line dividing the two. Any way to get rid of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor57 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Configure panel => Layout => Appearance => Advanced Options =>Applet Handles (choose hide to get rid of them...). Hope that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Looks like you already got it figured out, but for those that still might be wondering: See the 'Hiding buttons' entry? When both are unchecked, there are no hiding buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
