This is using the applets and "icons" in a way that doesn't fight KDE4, frees up screen real-estate and give a great deal of functionality.
It makes it clear that these are application launchers - not 'icons' - and focuses them.
Thanks Anton, After your clear
mumble mumble :-^
instructions, I also made the plunge into the application launcher and I like it. Have though a small problem. E.g. if I try to launch Kmix it starts the command and nothing shows up. Same with KwikDisk. How come?
Dunno. Lets guess.
I don't have kmix in the set of application launchers.
I have the icon kmix in my system tray. (see attached screenshot) How did t get there? I *think* I ran kmix at some time and it ended up there.
I click on it and I get the volume control and a button that says "mixer". When I click on that I get. not a mixed gender party but rather a window with lots of sliders.
Obviously something is wrong. This is not intended as a mixer is the sense that a normal, non technical person would use the term, another example of the failure of the techie-geek-minded designers of KDE4 to perform proper end user analysis.....
Mixer? Oh, sorry, you meant Canada Dry?
