You'll need to add a "Widget" to your desktop that displays your .Desktop folder (or what ever folder you'd like to have displayed on your desktop). Click on the "cashew" in the top right corner of your desktop and then "Add a Widget". You will want to add a "Folder View" widget, so find that one in the list that appears. By default, you will most likely now have the contents of your /home directory on your desktop... at least, that's what my Mandriva 2009 install does. To change it to your your...
I was thinking that it might be an interesting idea to have the option of chaning the ZUI view based on what the user is doing. For example, if I set up a ZUI that had Plasmoids configured to help me do sound/music editing, when I happen to launch Audacity from the main menu, KDE automatically switches to the ZUI that applies (which I would have previously specified). Kind of like a "ZUI action-on" setting or some such thing that states, "go to this ZUI when this application/hot-key/etc is activ...
I'm a Mandriva 2009 and KDE 4.1 user, as well. I believe that I read somewhere that it would be KDE 4.2 that would support Mac Widgets. Unless someone has more information, you might have to wait for 4.2.
I believe what you're referring to here are KDE "plasmoids". Instead of having the contents of the .Desktop fold appearing on your desktop, they are contained in a Plasmoid that displays folder contents. You can have several of these directory view Plasmoids on your desktop, each showing different directories. For example, I have one Plasmoid showing the contents of a folder I've named .Network that has links to scripts that I've written to connect me to different network domains. I also have a ...
Open up the KDE "System Settings" application then go to: Look & Feel -> Appearance -> choose Icons (from the left hand menu) -> select the Advanced tab -> choose the appropriate icon size using the drop down men you see in the top portion of the config window. As for the fonts, go through the Fonts settings in the same locaiton. Just click on the Fonts icon in the menu to the left right below the Icons selection.
At the moment, I do not seem to have a background image (wallpaper) configured in KDE 4.1 for the ZUI when I "zoom out" to see all Activities. Where do I/ how can I configure this setting? I'm using Mandriva 2009.0 and KDE 4.1 (although I suppose that really doesn't matter much).
Ah, thank you. Yes, Ghostscript is not opening up .ps or .pdf documents. I get an error: Source code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Error: /undefined in f Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- %loop_continue 2 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:111...
I was wondering if someone could give me some tips to get the print preview feature to work with my KDE apps. All I get are blank pages when I print preview with any KDE app. (Konqueror, Koffice, for example). Applications, like GIMP and OpenOffice seem to display print preview okay, it just seems as though KDE is missing something or something is not configured properly. Any advice?
Don't know much about this sort of thing. Could it be a duplex problem? Have you looked through your settings in the Control Center -> Sound & Multimedia -> Sound System menu?
Ah, that's a good lead in the right direction. Yes, the router does it's job well. I just wasn't sure how to proceed in this instance. Thank you for the direction. Now have to go read about forwarding ssh ports
Been using fish:// via Konqueror to transfer files and such between my home networked PC. Wonderful! Now, I want to do the same remotely (that is, on a PC away from home). How do I connect to one of my home PCs behind a router? Usually, you just type fish:// followed by your IP address. However, my PC's IP address is a 192.168.......... If I want to connect from the outside world, I'd have to use the IP address given to me by my web providers. But, that IP address is assigned to my router, not t...
Are you only adjusting the font sizes with the enlarge/shrink icon buttons? Or have you tried changing the default font sizes under Konqueror Set-up menu as well? Don't know if it will work, but it was an idea.
CD ripping is one of the most popular things we do with our home PCs. Now, with the help of the KDE desktop and Konqueror, the process is easier than ever before. This How-To explains how you can do it, quickly and easily Read it at: Dave's Desktop Episode 21
I've got KDE 3.4 running. Now, I'd like to get Kooka working with my HP 3-in-1 printer/scanner. Printing works fine (using hpijs driver) but Kooka does not seem to "see" the scanner part. I don't know how to tell Kooka to detect the scanner. I click on the "Select Scan Device" button, but nothing happens. What appears to be the scanning window (the right hand portion of the window) remains grey with no indication of anything happening. I'd like to get Kooka working. Can anyone give me some advic...
I'm not certain what toolbars you're talking about. Do you mean the navigation bar? Could you provide a screenshot?
Yup, I go directly to www.gmail.com I'm using KDE/Konqueror 3.3.2 and I have my brower ident. set to Netscape 3.01. I suppose the version I'm using is the HTML version (?) See...
Will it? Gmail already looks and works great on my Konqueror browser. KDE even has an applet that sits on your task bar and notifies you if any new mail arrives in your G-mail account. It's called KCheckGmail.
That's great! You're welcome.
I had a similar experience once when I was trying out Slackware. In my case, it was an X.org set-up problem. Took me a few tries to get my mouse properly configured, but finally got X.org to recognize my mouse.
