The problem is the mix of single and double click in items that "appear" from the users point of view to be the same thing ;). So for example when I open the KDE control panel I have to double click on the sections to enter them. Where as in the file browser it is single click to enter a directory... but double click on the left hand pane to open a new drive area. It is very inconsistent and confusing. What I mean with icons was inside things like the file browser, there is too much white space around the icons for a folder etc. And there is too much white space on the window bars. However these problems were solved by changing theme to Plastique and customising the spacing :) (At least I can do that!) However there are still things I cannot find, like how to I set up a global launch shortcut in KDE4 (e.g. to make the media keys on my laptop keyboard work to launch email, web etc.). And where do I configure power management behavior? it doesn't seem to be in the control panel app. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
