opvask Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 When using Beryl in Mandriva I have a small problem. The "drop menu shadow" (kcontrol - style/effects) keeps re enabling itself everytime I log in or restart. I can disable the "menu drop shadow" effect from kcontrol, but every time I login it's enabled. It's just that particular effect. Looks very ugly with Beryl. Is it possible in some way to completely remove this feature? Uninstall? Editing it out somewhere?

AussieJohn Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Are you certain you are clicking the Apply button after you untick the drop shadow button ???. I seems like you are not. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I don't use beril, but still have this problem. Every time i disable the gui effects, and they just reappear after i reboot. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 If you run the KDE Control Center as root and then disable the offending gui effects, perhaps the effects will remain disabled? I am running Mandriva 2005, so I am not able to check if this works. It is just a suggestion. kdesu kcontrol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it will do it for root only. Besides, I checked that and it doesn't help. Here how it looks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest free.hephaestus Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Wow this one has been around for some time I see. I'm using 2008.0 and this has been driving me nuts! I could not find a clean fix, so I just changed the ~/.qt/kstylerc permission to read only for owner after verifying it's settings. It was the only way I could disable the transparent selections also. Now I can move icons around without the choppiness on this old Celeron. I hope this helps someone... P.S. Oh and does anyone know what the lockfiles (e.g. ~/.qt/.kstylerc.lock) are for. The results in google I found are cryptic. Are they related?
