I would still like to know.
Answers: 1. Nowhere. Because this was an upgrade, there were missing theme settings. Whatever "themes" are. Anyway, without a theme, the background was black and the letters were still very, very dark gray. Poor choice of default. With letters defaulting to near-black, the background *MUST* default to something with a little contrast. 2. I'd still like to know. 3. Haven't resolved that one yet. Somewhere there's a setting to make window backgrounds be opaque. That should be the default (continui...
I just installed OpenSuSE 11.3 and my desk top is a bit hard to use. The apps seem to have translucency set to "invisible" and the panel has black lettering on a black background. I want that panel to have some contrast between characters and background and I want it to auto-hide. The auto hiding is hiding behind invisible menus. Two questions: 1. Where did my previous settings go? 2. Why is it even allowed that fonts have colors that are indistinguishable from the background? Oh, 3. invisible c...
I've still not been able to get it working....
I know ld-linux is not a KDE component, but I'm pretty sure without total certainty that it is servicing KDE stuff. Is there anyone around who can give me a hint about way this thing is spinning so much? Is there a better forum?

I've seen enough references to being able to do it, and I remember that once upon a time that if I asked for a reminder on a meeting, there would just be a pop-up. I understand that the current default is to just be silent, so I have to remember to enable the reminder, but I've done so. I see the little bell in the scheduled meeting in the calendar. But it quietly lets me miss my meetings anyway. I have meandered through all the menu items one by one several times and none of them reference anyt...
"control center" has been renamed. The new name is "personal settings". Suggestion to KDE folks: please do not "improve" interfaces unless there is a real and substantial improvement. It is hard to find the control center when it is labeled "personal settings".

Oh, another application: Thunderbird likes to yank me away from my current desktop over to the one where T-Bird is running, just for the purpose of letting me know that there is an unusual character in an email I am composing. Stealing focus is extremely bad to have happen at all. To actually yank me away from my current desk top is even worse.
"emacs", for one. It is not really like there is a question to ask. I probably should go figure out how to file a bug report, but it'll probably just sit around anyway. I use cscope in an xterm window and trigger views in a separate emacs session. I am simply not enjoying having to move the mouse back to the cscope window and refocusing. It is true that emacs should not be telling KDE "gimme the mouse", but when focus stealing is set to extreme prevention, I would expect KDE to not honor the req...
I've set it to "extreme" and that is not good enough. Since extreme is not strong enough to prevent it, then you need another setting higher than extreme. If I am typing into one application, I want is so that it is utterly, completely, totally, absolutely *IM*possible for my keystrokes to get redirected to another program, where it is certain to be misinterpreted. "focus stealing" is a brain damaged concept. Thank you.
I put "steal focus" into the search box and it says, "invalid input". Then, I thought I'd post about it here, but there was no "create a new thread" button. Until I finally figured out that the shiny star on the teeny tiny image of a piece of paper meant to say, "new thread". You-all can improve your user friendly-ness. That is what focus stealing is -- the absolute maximum of being completely user *UN*friendly. As soon as I find the right forum.....
Following all the completely clear directions works fine with KDE3. But, unfortunately, I've installed KDE4. The KDEWallet absolutely insists upon interfering with passwords, whether I like it or not. If I don't use it, things will not work correctly and if I do use it, I have to type passwords all the time. Very, very, very tiresome. Anyway,. right now I am using KMail because Thunderbird is so strongly discriminated against and I've now changed all my archives to KMail. It worked okay with 3.5...
