[01-27-11 15:27]: I use the desktop folders and have a strange thing that i think i remember being brought up before , When you put the mouse cursor over an icon you get a plus sign + show up but the icon itself is very difficult to find the spot that is active to click on there was a fix if i remember right but cant find it
I don't know the significance of the "+" sign, but the "selection" area for "clicking" on the icon is quite large. It is not necessary to "click" on the "+" sign to activate actions for the icon.
The "+" is for selecting, not operning. For people who don't know that you can select multiple icons by holding CTRL the "+" is an intuitive feature to achieve that functionality. CTRL and "select multiple items" has absolutely no obvious link.
Here the area clickable for opening is four times as big as the "+" even if folderview is set to use the smalles icon size. And the "+" has the same size the buttons in the windeco have or the close buttons in firefox's tabs, so their usability size-wise seems to be adequate.

HUmmmmmm ..
Well can we get rid of that + and get back to as itused to be as it is an feature i do not like or want and find a hinderence to use or is it another thing that only has one choice on end of ..
The old behaviour was to pop open the folders on hover. People complained about that being surprising too so it was changed. Upstream was going to make this an option, since small hover buttons are hard for some classes of users to hit, but forgot to do this for 4.6.0. I brought it up last night and this was just committed, so we'll have it in openSUSE 11.4: SVN commit 1217557 by aseigo: make hover triggering configurable; will backport for 4.6.1 as well CCMAIL:wstephenson@kde.org M +1 -1 folderview.cpp --- trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/plasma/applets/folderview/folderview.cpp #1217556:1217557 @@ -435,7 +435,6 @@ m_customIconSize = cg.readEntry("customIconSize", m_customIconSize); if (size != iconSize().width()) { needReload = true; - } m_showPreviews = cg.readEntry("showPreviews", m_showPreviews); @@ -1018,6 +1017,7 @@ m_iconView->setWordWrap(m_numTextLines > 1); m_iconView->setAlignToGrid(m_alignToGrid); m_iconView->setIconsMoveable(!m_iconsLocked); + m_iconView-
