The "bottom bar" (panel?) is almost unusable at this point, too big and not very customizable. It's a central part fo my desktop, so it's a show stopper to me.
Can you be more specific, let's file a bug.
On the 20/10 I wrote this in this forum:

For those who may not know it yet, I discovered this morning that the Taskbar in KDE4.1x can be made to Autohide, just like previously in KDE3. Luvly! (I don't know when this came into affect.)
Just right-click on the Taskbar, select Panel Settings and then select More Settings.
One thing, the Always Visible option always shows up with a red tick even if you select Autohide so ignore this little idiosyncrasy, select Autohide and save the new setting.
Ciao.

Didn't anyone read the above?
Probably not.
Is there also the ability to shrink it (vertically) so that it does not take so much room?
Yes, but you could do this anyway for a long time: all you had to do is to bring up the additional 'bar (thru Settings), left-clicking and holding the top of the new 'bar and then pushing it down; by doing so you also compressed the Taskbar.
To have different wall paper on each desk top, to have multiple desktops,
Multiple desktops yes (I have 6) but one cannot as yet have each with its own wallpaper - this bit is still to come. (Multiple desktops: right-click on a desktop icon in the taskbar and select the number you want in Configure Desktop.)
to have transparent task bars?
Don't know - haven't tried. (Getting the Taskbar to Autohide was a thrill- all else was forgotten! :-D .)
To size the icons on the task bar?
Yes, and you could do this before but I don't remember how I did it. Ciao. -- If you go through life with your head in the sand, all people will see is an arse. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
