I assume you mean the "scroll" button"? Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config. Go to the section named..."Core Pointing Device" and replace/add these three parameters.(save and restart X)

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"<----change protocol
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"<---change device
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"<---add this Option

For some reason, if I adjust the menu translucency setting, it doesn't work, and the setting changes back to "disabled" when I go back.
I have the same problem with the setting for antialiasing.

Is it the same for all users or only you? If its specific to your account, check who owns your ~/.qt and/or the files in that folder.

If it is the same for all the users, then maybe we need more information about how you installed kde/qt. Compiled qt from scratch? Are you using the right version of qt? What does $QTDIR point to? etc. etc.

Thanks for the tip, that was it... qt was owned by root. Changing it to myself solved the problem

Thank you very much. I was searching just for this. Transparent menus are great

One of the things I find most frustrating since starting down the path of my new linux "slackware" experience is that depending on what version you're running, things just aren't where they're described, and are completed differently based upon what version of linux you are running!

In Slackware 10, the item you were describing is actually under the Control Center, Appearance & Themes, STYLE, then the rest. And even from there it would appear that there are several choices to make your menus even more translucent than the default.

In fact KDE is an improvement in that area because for most options there are *no* differences across distros and even operating systems (KDE runs on quite a few non-Linux platforms!) as long as the desktop is actually running KDE (which is a question that's easy to answer). Compare that to editing config files that may be in a different place in each Linux distribution or flavour of UNIX. Sure, there are efforts to standardise those locations, too, but ...

That's not to say that a particular distro may not have moved or screwed up a certain KDE config option.
