Copy them to your ~/.xmms/Skins/ Directory.
You also can copy them to /usr/share/xmms/Skins, so any user on your system, 
can use them (need to be done as root).

Start the 'control center', go to 'FileBrowsing', select 'File Associations', 
then, under 'text' choose 'html' and replace 'quanta' with 'konqueror'.

Re: [expert] How does one get konqueror to work with java?

2000-12-19 Thread RedRat

Hi !

Javascript has nothing to do with Java. It's a totally different think. 
Javascript support is integrated idn Konqui and it works, at least for me, 
great (in 2.0, 2.0.1 and now in 2.1beta). 

So, Java works also if you have installed a Java Development Kid and entered 
the correct path in the konqui condifuration. I tried it with the blackdown 
JDK 1.2 and it works, as far as I can say, great.

First you should know if you need Java or Javascript. If you want Javascript 
support in Konqui you must activate it in the configuration. It should work 
with every KDE >=2.0...

If you want Java support you have to install a jdk and put the correct path 
into the configuration (mine is: "/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/") ... 

so...

Well, you're right. I can't find the thememanager too :( 
But I have no problems logging in and out, but I haven't done that many time 
today... so, I can't say much to that. I don't have any problems with my 
bookmarks and the bookmark manager also works fine... 

Did you uninstall the old rpms before installing the new ones? I had problems 
once I did it without installing the old ones...

Timo

Hello List!

After having some trouble with updateing KDE2 to KDE2.0.1 I uninstalled all 
KDE packages and installed the new KDE2.0.1 packages. Nearly everthing went 
fine and I got nearly no problems with the new packages, even Konqui ist 
somewhat stable now... 

but, Konqueror doens't find my installed Netscape Plugins nor there is this 
kcmshell module to configure the Netscape Plugins for Konqueror. Anyone got 
the same problem or know some advise???

2000-12-07 Thread RedRat

Hello List!

I just updates from KDE 2 to KDE 2.0.1 and most things work fine. I installed 
the new rpms and most things are ok, but I cannot connect to any ftp site 
requiring user name und password. It everytime says 

"The process fot the ftp://xxx.xx protocol died unexpectedly."

so, anyone has the same problem or anyone has some hints how to fix that? I 
really like the Konqueror as an ftp client but now ... :(

Oh, anonymous ftp connection work...

[expert] KDE2 Toolbars

2000-11-20 Thread RedRat

Hello List !

I want text under the icons in the toolbars. In one beta you could change 
that for every kde application, but now in KDE final this option is gone. 
Only a global setting is there, but it doesn't work. I can chose whatever I 
want (text only, icon only, text under icon, text beside icon) it only shows 
the icon without text. Any hints?

if you want Netscape without all that crap, try beonex (www.beonex.org). It's 
small and a little mit faster...
