ffi Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 According to the documentation there should be a tab ¨appearance¨ in the ¨configure panel¨ menu but I only have arrangement, hiding, menus and taskbar. How do I change the colour, the default grey is getting pretty boring... I have kde 3.51 installed from mandriva cooker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Right click on kicker, select "configure panel" and there should be an advanced settings thing at the bottom. From there you can change it to any colour, add a background picture or make it transparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 This is weird. Did they rip anything away? Wait, I will boot my Debian now, where I have a KDE 3.5.2 environment. brb. Edit: .. they ripped it off! :blink: :o By default, there should be five entries. They ripped off the "appearance" entry where you set the transparency stuff.

ffi Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 How do we get it back again, is there some config file which can be editted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 *shrugs* A good question, as I have no clue, which parts of the packages they ripped off exactly. Check if they have perhaps hidden this option anywhere in "configure my desktop". If it ain't there, you should ask politely at the official mandriva/cooker irc channels and, if needed, submit a bug. Just my opinion, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) i´ll give mde a try, just hope I figure out how to change their K-menu button, it´s even uglier than Mandriva´s :unsure: Just hope this´ll go smoothly, yesterday I installed nVidia´s latest drivers and I see a lot happening with xorg and video drivers, keeping my fingers crossed....

ffi Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Does anyone know how to get this option back in the configure panel menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 You mean this: Update to KDE 3.5.2 :) Or edit the kickerrc: Under [general] add this line: BackgroundTheme=/usr/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/default.png (or edit it to reflect your preferences) Restart kicker with: dcop kicker Panel restart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 You mean this: Update to KDE 3.5.2 :) Yup, I get bored with the looks of kicker easily. I´ve updated to 352 from cooker and the option´s still not there, only way to change it is via a workaround.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
