KDE 4.1: Whew ! That is more like it ! Folderview and panel questions...
I got updated to KDE 4.1 this morning. It looks a lot better. I have a couple questions. 1) How do I install application icons in the panel ? I would like an icon for Konqueror, Evolution, Dolphin, etc. I think it used to be in Add Widgets or something like that. Where is it now ? 2) How do I resize the Desktop folder view ? I click the resize icon in the taskbar that appears on the side. If I try long enough I can get the folderview to move. But I can't seem to resize it. What am I doing wrong ? 3) Is there a way to make the folder view to take up the whole desktop, for when I want a traditional look ? Excuse my ignorance but I am unclear how the whole folder view / new desktop paradigm is supposed to work. My desktop used to be littered with file and folder icons. What is it supposed to have now, a bunch of folder views ?

Where is it now ? right click in empty space but to be honest, I've found that launchers in the main panel disappointing 2) How do I resize the Desktop folder view ?

2008/9/10 linuxguy [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 1) How do I install application icons in the panel ? I would like an icon for Konqueror, Evolution, Dolphin, etc. I think it used to be in Add Widgets or something like that. Where is it now ? I don't know if the panel fully supports this yet. I've put my most used applications to the Favourites tab in the main K menu. 2) How do I resize the Desktop folder view ? I click the resize icon in the taskbar that appears on the side. If I try long enough I can get the folderview to move. But I can't seem to resize it. What am I doing wrong ? - Make sure your widgets aren't locked - Point the folderview applet with your mouse. A sidebar should appear next to the applet. - Drag the resize button in the sidebar. It looks and acts a little weird, but you'll get the idea when you try it a few times. 3) Is there a way to make the folder view to take up the whole desktop, for when I want a traditional look ? I have heard this is possible even in KDE 4.1, but not yet fully complete. It takes some extra work and disables the desktop wallpaper. Better support for this is coming in the future versions of KDE. Excuse my ignorance but I am unclear how the whole folder view / new desktop paradigm is supposed to work. My desktop used to be littered with file and folder icons. What is it supposed to have now, a bunch of folder views ? You can just use a single folderview like you would use a traditional desktop with icons. Or you can organise your stuff into multiple folderviews. For example, I have put my desktop application launchers to their own folderview applet, so they don't get lost between the everchanging heap of file icons. You can also choose to not use desktop icons at all. -- Joonas Sarajärvi [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I've put my most used applications to the Favourites tab in the main K menu. I've had panel icons since 4.0. They couldn't be moved around in 4.0, but they worked. In Dolphin, find the app you want and right-click on it. It offers to put it onto the desktop or onto the panel. 3) Is there a way to make the folder view to take up the whole desktop, for when I want a traditional look ?

Better support for this is coming in the future versions of KDE. I believe it is possible. I don't have 4.1 on this laptop yet, though. I'll try to find more info tomorrow.

This also works directly from the Kicker in case you aren't running Dolphin. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
