[opensuse-kde] How to expand things on the panel?
Somehow all the icons, etc., on the panel of my wife's computer are now all scrunched together to the left. I have looked at every setting I can find on the panel and nothing will get them back to 'normal.' How/what do I do to get them to spread along the panel like normal? Also, how do you stop the popup informational things whenever you place the cursor over an icon on the desktop or panel?

Could it be as simple that she accidentally removed the task bar from the panel? Am Mittwoch 23 Juni 2010, 20:41:23 schrieb Richard Atcheson:

I can't imagine any good reason for that even to be _possible_ except very intentionally. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

You don't know my wife! She's a fast touch typist and her swinging thumb over the touch pad can do wonderous things normal people cant do intentionally. To bad I cant get the synaptic thingie to kill the pad during typing. Will be trying the delete/replace routine as soon as I can get the laptop away from her. As for me, I would still like to be able to disable the 'informational' popups that tell me what I already know about the icons I pass over.

It's precisely because of how you describe your wife what I wrote what I wrote, that it _should_NOT_be_possible_ (for her to have done what she did) to produce the result observed. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I have never been able to repeat whatever she does! Thank God! I deleted the panel and created another which was simply blank. So I started adding things from the widget menu and got a bunch of her things back. THEN I discovered how to move the silly things. First you add a spacer, then you can click and drag the icons around. Without the spacer they simply sit there! Ah the feeling of progress!!!

There are no spacer widgets in the default panel, so surely you don't need spacers to "get back to normal". As for the tooltips you can disable taskbar tooltips via right click -> taskbar settings -> uncheck "show tooltips" The rest of the tooltips I don't think you can disable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

When I created the new panel, following the info from Kernel Linux, it never offered to allow choosing a default. As soon as I clicked add panel, it did and it was blank. Using the add widget menu I started adding some icons and

I did that but the tooltips still are there. And yes, I unlocked the widgets to no avail. Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
