neddie Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Have you tried searching the forum for "menu" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Same question here. In 2007.1 there were no "intrinsic" texts in the K-menu button, so simple swap did the trick. Now there is this terrible text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Can you sharpen your question, i can't understand what text you would like to remove. If it is the kicker button text (the "Menu" in lower left corner) take a look here, it worked for 2007.1 don't know what about 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 If it is the word 'Menu' you want to get rid of then right click on the button and select one of the optional styles of button you want. One option is 'Switch to Mandriva Button' This will give you a white star on a light blue background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 But I like to keep my menu button as it is now, only without this awfully looking white text "Menu". In 2007.0/2007.1 when I replaced original images in /var/lib/mandriva/kde-profiles/free/share/icons/crystalsvg with ones I made myself, then there wasn't any white text on my menu button, and in 2008.0 there's one as you can see on the picture above. How to get rid of the text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you want the 'original' KDE button, like the one in the beautiful screenshot in this post here. :) You will have to add this section [KMenu] KMenuButtonScale=false KmenuIcon=about_kde.png to your ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc Then in a terminal do dcop kicker kicker restart to use the icon without restarting your Xserver.

zibi1981 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 And is there a possibility to only remove this text from my current button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 The text is part of the image that is being used. You would have to edit the image to remove the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) The text is part of the image that is being used.I don't believe it is, I just looked. @zibi1981- Try adding this section Edit: dexter11 has found this to work with 2008 [KMenu] ShowText=false to your ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc Then do dcop kicker kicker restart to see if it works. Please let us know. Edited October 16, 2007 by Greg2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried this. It does not remove the "Menu" text from the KMenu in Kicker if we are using the Kicker Menu Style. It works only when we use the KDE Menu Style. (right click on KMenu to switch between two different styles). On a related note, I have noticed, that if I use the Kicker Menu Style, KMenu takes 6-8 seconds to bring up the menu after clicking the first time after startup. This issue does not exist if I am using the KDE Menu Style. Is this a known issue that can be fixed? Or should I open a new thread? Please help. Thanks.

Greg2 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 It works only when we use the KDE Menu Style. Ahh, whom is in the 'we' group? In the 'me' group, I have proved it with my screenshot. :P What version of Mandriva are you using, e.g., Free, One, or what? 'We' can fix this. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) Looks like I'm in that group too because your solution didn't work here either. This is on Mandriva 2008 Free. Since the word menu is written in Hungarian (Menü) on my button so I think the text is not part of the picture. edit: I found it. You have to add ShowText=false to your kickerrc file under the [KMenu] section and text won't be there. The bad news is that the button remains the same size. So if you want the nice round button but only with the star in it you have to edit the icon. The question is which icon cause I can't find it. More precisely I found it under /var/lib but I can't find the original one. Edited October 16, 2007 by dexter11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
