Hello,
i'm using linux with KDE for 3 days now .
So, i'm a brand new user of linux.
Here is my question,i saw a lot of
KDE screenshots with this monitoring
tool on the right of the desktop
(like in this screenshot above) and
i was wondering what kind of
program is this (a program , an applet ??)
and where can i find it.
Thanx a lot
I installed it easily enough, I think. In the screenshot you had really cool scrollbars, which didn't load on mine, I don't think they were meant to be on there. I think you should change the screenshot.
I didn't like particulary like the wallpaper, it didn't really match the rest of the theme.
It annoyling set the icons on the dekstop to big aswell, which made quite a few of them screw up.
The rest of the theme seems nice enough though, if it had those cool scollbars it would rock!
Im not sure where to post a general topic, but anyways:
I download themes/decorations and follow the installation steps, but i never get the full theme from the installation.
I'll uncompress and move the theme into (lets say...) the ICEWM theme's folder and then apply it, but I'll only get a portion of the theme --- such as just the window border -- nothing else.
This is a lab computer in my linux class. It's not that powerful. Celereon 533, 8mb video card -- Are my hardware specs hindering my themes?
Hey :
I had similar problems with RH 7.3. You have a few options :
You can download a RPM package (it is available for RH 7.2 (which works for 7.3)).
The other thing I would suggest is using the --prefix=/usr with configure. I found out that this helped my install issues.
As far as icons go, I would suggest not untarring the file..the icon applet at the KDE control center does this automatically.
hth,
Burhan
