On openSUSE 11.2 and KDE4 (either 4.3.1 or 4.3.80) how do stop text shadows from appearing under desktop icons and in the YAWP plasmoid?

I've grep'd for text and shadow under ~/.kde4/share/config with no luck. I can find just about everything else I could ever think of changing in system settings but nothing to do with text shadows.

Some versions back it use to be in the konqueror settings of all things but it's not there (also checked the dolphin settings as well).

grep -ir shadow ./.kde4/* ./share/config/kwinrc kwin4_effect_shadowEnabled=true also Personal Settings -> Advanced -> Windows -> Window Decoration -> Shadows But I have *no* text beneath my "desktop" icons, nor "icons", but do have "widgets". -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have System Settings but no Personal Settings on either of my KDE4 systems. Have you any idea what the name of the actual program is that is being run?

from the K-Menu "Configure Desktop" aka "Personal Settings" /usr/bin/systemsettings -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Odd. I don't have these options in my K-Menu (the last time I did was with KDE3) and my systemsettings doesn't have the Personal Settings -> Advanced -> Windows -> Window Decoration -> Shadows option.

I can find the option to switch off the Window shadows but not the text shadows.

This had me stumped as well, so I looked at the code. If you have individual icons on the regular desktop, there isn't a way to control the background of the icon text - a halo effect is painted on the rectangles used by the characters before painting the text (kdelibs/plasma/widgets/iconwidget.cpp and kdelibs/private/effects/halopainter.cpp if you're interested). It does use the Desktop font selection though. The yaWP widget doesn't use this code AFAICS and I also don't see any shadows on its text. The Folder View widget does contain the old desktop icon UI: # lines of text, colour, shadows. Have you tried using the Folder View desktop style as opposed to having a Folder View on a default desktop?
