I've a fresh, default installation of opensuse 11.4 with KDE and I've added some programs like yast or firefox into the KDE desktop. Howto disable/remove small action menu's from the desktop icons?
BTW I try to add a small 29KB png image into this posting, to show what I exactly mean, but it doesn't work.
It has a wrench, X, and another figure. How can I get rid of the toolbar.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was trying out different settings for KDE 4. The setting was for "Desktop Activity Type and I selected "Plain Desktop no Toolbar" When that was applied, suddenly the desktop icons got very small and I tried to set them larger again but that did not work, the settings for Desktop icons from "Configure Desktop" were only applied in the Plasma Dashboard, not the desktop itself

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using Fedora 15 with Gnome 3. I installed ati driver properly and everything looks great except the icons in the menu bar.
However, when the cursor hovers over the icons, they become normal. This is a problem with ati driver and Gnome-shell.
I installed 11.04 and came to notice that the icons for my bookmarks in the places menu on the desktop are sometimes present and other times they are not, I have no idea what is causing this but it is from a fresh install all i have done is update. it's a minor issue but small things like this tend to annoy me oh and this is in the default unity session

View 2 Replies View RelatedIts difficult to explain, but when I installed OpenSuse 11.3 64 bit with KDE there was a small folder/box in the upper left corner of the screen. It contained shortcuts to SuSe Help, Open Office, Firefox, My Computer and a few more. I fidgeted with my desktop activity settings and it disappeared. How do I get it back?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed kubuntu lucid on my notebook. Every time I plug in a thumb drive, the device actions popup gives me two options - load in file manager and use gwenview importer.
I want to get rid of the gwenview importer option.
I went into System Settings->Advanced->Device Actions and found the entry for Download photos with gwenview. It can't be deleted (at least as a regular user). I tried modifying it and then deleting it, but the gwenview entry was still there afterward.
I uninstalled Google Earth and the "grey" icon remains no matter what I do. Also I had wine to run an MS application I uninstalled wine, before uninstalling the application. The icons remain, do I need to re-install wine again, uninstall the application then uninstall wine? The file that held the application I deleted, first because I had a brain fade.

1. From the attached picture you can see that an icon for xine has a different size. When I change it manually and align the icon, it has previous status after the restart. If I delete that icon and recreate it again, it's smaller than other icons. Icon size for desktop is set up to 32, Desktop Activity.
2. Minimizing/maximizing e.g. Firefox breaks all icons in task bar. I am able to refresh only Firefox/Thunderbird icons.
What can cause these issues? Maybe:
1. my nouveau driver
2. bugs in KDE 4.4.
3. my theme
After booting, I have no desktop icons. The /home/userid/desktop directory is intact and I have the taskbar at the bottom of screen. I am using KDE. How do I restore the icons
View 3 Replies View RelatedI hooked up Lucid to a 50" and adjusted the resolution to the max. Gives a clearer sharper picture but all the displayed items are tiny. Is there something I need to do that I haven't? I went from 1086x720 to 1400(approx)x900(approx) and created the problem. Now I'm back at 1086x720. I'm using the Nvidia 195 drivers.

Gnome desktop on Opensuse 11.2. It's more annoying that a big issue.
I want to use a combination that avoids alphabetic/punctuation characters because that way I have a consistent physical position on different layouts. Control_R+Menu fits that requirement and is also located at a very convenient position.This combination used to work in KDE 3.5 for the global kxkb switch action, or any keyboard action for that matter. In KDE 4, trying to assign Menu by pressing the Menu key always activates the keyboard trap widget's context menu, in this case giving me the What's this?How do I work around that problem? Alternatively, do you have a snippet that I can paste into $HOME/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc and which works?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have lost some icons from my desktop, they are, firefox, yast, thunderbird, emacs, the space and the names are still there, and when I hover the mouse over the space, it is highlighted as it should be. The application opens and runs as normal when I click on the space where the icon should be. The icons are also missing from the favorites bar on the left side and also from the panel top left when the app is running.I have tried, rebuilding the icon cache in 'usr/share/icons/hicolor', and also all othercon caches for that matter, and no difference. I tried uninstalling and installing the app, no differenence. I tried changing themes and icons from Tweak Tool, no difference. As far as I can see the icons are there in the hicolor directory
