I did that at one time. At the time, my video card was a bit to slow for that. I kinda liked it and would likely get used to it if I used it enough. I'd forgot about it tho. My current video card may can handle all that better tho. May think on that. I seem to recall it can be done with the keyboard as well. My real problem, the little plasma thing at the bottom sometimes hangs. It eventually starts working again but if I need to be on another desktop, it doesn't work. I can tell when it is hung, the clock stops changing the seconds. Sometimes it hangs for a minute or two. Annoying as heck. Thinking about renaming the kde directory and starting with fresh config files. It's been a while since I did that and it tends to help with weird stuff like that. Thanks for reminding me. May look into that again. Dale :-) :-)
