However, on my 10.0 machine, when I do the same thing the text under the link icon is **not** italicized. It looks no different than the text under an icon of a file that actually resides on the desktop.
The desktop icon linking the document or directory is symbolized with an arrow. The arrow is at the bottom on the left corner oh the icon. (with default icon theme)
I don't have an arrow on my desktop link icons on either the 9.3 or 10.0 machines. Both are set up the same way (as far as I know). I have used custom icons (e.g., for spreadsheets, text documents, etc.), but I am still using the default SuSE icons in KDE control center > appearance and themes > icons.
Unless this is a known difference between 9.3 and 10.0, I am assuming there must be a setting somewhere to italicize the icon text that I have overlooked despite searching. Can anyone point me to where this customization option might be?
I prefer KDE so I can guide you to KDE settings. All KDE settings are in KDE Control Center. Click Look and Feel section, then icons. You will see icon themes. You may customize the icon theme. The look changes with the icon theme.
I cannot find "Look and Feel." I have looked everywhere in the KDE control center in both 9.3 and 10.0. I must be blind. Please tell me where it is located.
Interestingly, if I drag that link icon to the trash folder and then look in the trash folder, the linked text **is** italicized. So this really has me puzzled that it would be italicized but only when in the trash folder, not when on the desktop.
This is due to icon theme, I suppose. I tried many different themes and all acted different. I can advice only try to find out the right icon theme for you.
I hope I may be of help Goksin Akdeniz
