The only thing on the KDE menu is Move Remove Menu Editor and Panel Menu There is NO properties. True - you need to find out which icon it uses (I thought it would be something like /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/go.png , but that didn't work). Once you've done that, you can back it up and put a different icon in it's place, edit it with your favourite graphic tool or whatever.

No problem, it opens the trash can, which is wat I presume you want. Of course, to fix it you should log out, checking save session, then in again. Remove the checkmark next time you log out.

Re: [newbie] KDE Panel Customization questions
try here for a trash can ref. : http://www.m-arriaga.net/software/libtrash/ for kde any icon can be changed to whatever you wish , whether it's on the desktop or in the task bar. they are located in /usr/share/icons. right click on one and choose properties, and click the icon button it displays, then change to your heart's content. to install a new theme go to the control center as you would to change any of the look and feel items. I currently use an icon set made of two different sets, and turned into a .tar.gz file and installed thru the control center look and feel icons install new theme . to make a new set of icons , you just take any set you find on a site like kde-look.org and roll your own. if you need more details email me off list. -- Mike McNeese Springdale, Arkansas USA ° Currently triple booting 98lite; MDK 8.0 kernel 2.4.3-20; MDK 9.0 kernel 2.4.19-16 Registered Linux User #248955 ° If obstacles are what you see in your path...

[newbie] KDE Panel Customization questions
I have almost completely customized my kde panels to where I want them to be. But.. there is one thing that I can't find a way to change, although I know it's possible. How to change the icons of the things like the Icon for the KDE menu. I can change icons for the apps IN the menu, but not the icon on the panel for the menu itself. I would also like to know if there is a KDE-kicker applet that would act as the trash can, ala MacOS/X. And.. is there a kicker applet that supports lm_sensors? running gkrellm is out of the question for my setup, as I am trying to be as minimalistic as possible with regards to screen clutter. go here: http://home.mchsi.com/~zex0s/Desktop.png to see what I mean by minimalistic desktop/panels (three panels total, one on right holds KDE menu, and most used programs, and, autohides.. 1 on bottom right, holds system tray and clock, always visible, the one on the bottom left is just a taskbar, and it also autohides. -- Chuck Burns, Jr [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---==--- I've enjoyed just about as much of this as I can stand.
