hwolff: Is it somehow possible that somehow the 'Keep above others' Flag was set on the background?
szal:
never heard of that being possible
hwolff:
let me try something, I might be back
OerHeks:
backgrond on top :-D
szal:
someone running Krusader & can tell me the supported archive formats? :)
szal:
I don't expect it to be as world-shaking a release as 2.0 was, but still I find it surprising to find beta software in a supposedly stable distro, adding to that the fact that we aren't to expect actual version updates
Apple_Cat:
How do I make shortcuts for kubuntu? simple links don't display nicely like the icons in the menu
eristikophiles:
is there a reason why KDE always forgets that one of my panels goes on the left, not the right? it re-appears on the right after every boot
szal:
Apple_Cat: shortcuts for what?
Apple_Cat:
szal: Shorcuts to applications, or shortcuts to anything really, say even running a script. But be able to customise the icon and also to be able to move it into the menu or taskbar
eristikophiles:
why don't you use a launcher in a panel? you can add scripts to that. any run command
szal:
no idea about customizing icons, I never do that.. but moving icons into the _taskbar_ is not exactly a good idea; as soon as you launch a program, its task switcher will cover the icon.. better to move it someplace else on the panel ;)
szal:
Apple_Cat: http://www.abload.de/img/20110522_fullscreenxdgh.png <- not Kubuntu, but the principle is the same; see the left side of the panel
Apple_Cat:
szal: Oh yeah that was what I meant sorry : P panel/taskbar same thing
szal:
Apple_Cat: nah, the taskbar is explicitly where the running programs are piled up ^^
Apple_Cat:
szal: But how do I make a launcher? I thought that's what a shortcut with an icon would be
szal:
Apple_Cat: there's a quicklaunch applet available in 'Add widgets', you can pull icons inside that or just put the icons in the panel like I did
eristikophiles:
anyway, i guess no one can help me with this strange issue. it's tough to google for since keywords like 'panel' and 'kde' together produce tons of other (useless) results
Apple_Cat:
szal: All the launchers are just menus I can't customise, at one point I just had a folder full of ln -s or launching scrips and then added a folder viewer to the panel. Surely I'm doing it wrong and there's a better way to have custom shortcuts?
szal:
just drag & drop from e.g. the menu, if you need to reposition, go to Panel Settings & move around to your liking
eristikophiles:
Apple_Cat- the launcher widget can handle running any command
eristikophiles:
if you set launchers up for scripts cool. though the icon might just look like a bland one; you *might* be able to assign it an icon but i don't know
Apple_Cat:
szal: How do I make the little launchers though? Like when I pull one of the default icons out of the launcher and onto my desktop I get a cool launcher with an icon, how do I make a new one of those?
szal:
doesn't put stuff on the desktop
eristikophiles:
the quicklaunch widget can hold launchers.. rightclick to get the menu to add/edit/remov
eristikophiles:
e
eristikophiles:
you can also drag 'em around like szal said
Apple_Cat:
Oh I think I found out the answer, they are .desktop files
eristikophiles:
fun
Apple_Cat:
eristikophiles: Yeah, that worked too : )
