3. Is there a KDE3 Theme for KDE4? I looked at the available themes and didn't see anything useful.
Press Alt+F2 and in the box type "Personal Settings" and press enter. Click on Appearance and select Style and set it to Plastique and click Apply. Then click on the Windows and select Plastik for the window decoration. You can even go to Icons and select Crystal SVG for the icon theme. I thought i remember that Plastik was a popular theme for KDE3. In the Personal Settings, you can configure mostly everything for your desktop.
You can also install the package 'gos-wallpapers' to get some KDE 3-era wallpapers. The 'Aya' desktop theme is most KDE 3 - like, without transparency. right click the desktop, Desktop Settings to change it [*]. You can also change the icons to the crystal SVG set from KDE 3.
4. How do I change the panel? A lot of the old options are just gone.
You need to make sure that you unlock Widgets from the Plasma Icon. Once you do that, you'll notice a Plasma icon on the panel itself on the right. This allows you to add additional widgets to the panel by clicking on the Add Widgets button above the panel. And if you put your mouse over existing widgets, you see a cross-hair that allows you to move them on the panel. If you want to add applications to the panel, you need to go through the menu and right-mouse click on the application and select add to panel. Be sure to lock the widgets when you're done.
Did that explain how to make the changes you were missing? Dotan and I are collecting still missing things to get upstream to reimplement them. Will [*] Anyone using KDE 4.4beta1 will notice it's gone from there, FYI it has now moved into Configure Desktop -> Appearance -> Style with other global settings. That had me scratching my head for weeks, I had just learned to look for that on the desktop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
