Guest Derfel Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hello peeps :) Because I line my icon's on the left of my desktop I need to open programs on the right of the screen rather then them snapping to the left edge. I've looked around to find how to do it but with no luck. Also need to turn the lettering under the desktop icon's from white to a dark colour as my self made wallpaper is a light colour. Cheers.

Guest Derfel Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I take it by the silence to this posting it's not possible to do the things I want to do in this thread ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 (edited) To change the colour of the text under the desktop icons just open KDE Control Centre......Appearance and themes.......Background..........Advanced options (on right side under monitor icon)..........Background icon text. With it you can change the colour of the text and the text shadow plus the number of text lines etc.. In KDECC select .......Desktop....................Window behavior..............Moving....................put a tick in....Allow moving and resizing.........in Placement ...use the drop down menu to select..............Centred or what you desire. cheers. John. Edited June 24, 2007 by AussieJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
