<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Computing]]: [[Linux]]: [[KDE]]: [[KDE Issues|Issues &amp; Bugs]]<br /> ==User Suggestions==<br /> # Show a path in Control Center windows<br /> #* &#039;&#039;&#039;Background&#039;&#039;&#039;: Various of aspects of KDE are configured via kcontrol, a.k.a. the &quot;Control Center&quot; (similar to the &quot;Control Panel&quot; in [[Windows (Microsoft)|Windows]], but organized hierarchically), which is generally available from the [[K Menu]] (i.e. the default configuration for most distributions has it there, and is often also accessible from other places in the menu as well as by running kcontrol directly from the console).<br /> #: Many parts of the Control Center may also be accessed by other means, e.g.:<br /> #:* Right-click on the desktop background and select &#039;&#039;&#039;Configure Desktop...&#039;&#039;&#039;: brings up a dialog that gives access to &#039;&#039;&#039;Appearance &amp; Themes -&gt; Background&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Desktop -&gt; Behavior&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Desktop -&gt; Multiple Desktops&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Appearance &amp; Themes -&gt; Screen Saver&#039;&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Peripherals -&gt; Display&#039;&#039;&#039;, depending on which icon you choose.<br /> #:* Right-click on an application icon in the taskbar, select &#039;&#039;&#039;Panel Menu -&gt; Configure Panel...&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> #: Furthermore, it is not always clear that these menus are the same; many settings for the same components are hidden in different parts of the Control Center, so it is easy to get lost trying to find the place where a particular setting is adjusted (e.g. I managed to figure out how to set transparency for the multiple desktop widget &#039;&#039;once&#039;&#039;, but I haven&#039;t been able to find it again.)<br /> #* &#039;&#039;&#039;Suggestion&#039;&#039;&#039;: Always show a path inside Control Center dialogs, regardless of whether they are invoked from within the Control Center or otherwise. For the examples given above, these would be like:<br /> #** &#039;&#039;&#039;Configure Desktop&#039;&#039;&#039;:<br /> #*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Background&#039;&#039;&#039;: Control Center: Appearance &amp; Themes: Background<br /> #*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Behavior&#039;&#039;&#039;: Control Center: Desktop: Behavior<br /> #*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Multiple Desktops&#039;&#039;&#039;: Control Center: Desktop: Multiple Desktops<br /> #*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Screen Saver&#039;&#039;&#039;: Control Center: Appearance &amp; Themes: Screen Saver<br /> #*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Display&#039;&#039;&#039;: Control Center: Peripherals: Display<br /> #** &#039;&#039;&#039;Configure Panel&#039;&#039;&#039;:<br /> #*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Layout&#039;&#039;&#039;: Control Center: Desktop: Panels<br /> #*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Taskbar&#039;&#039;&#039;: Control Center: Desktop: Taskbar</div>
