Icons

English Install/Boot/Login

I would like to change settings of my icons for possibility to switch on applications. In 11.4. KDE is not possible to do it.

…] for possibility to switch on applications.

Could you explain what you mean here? I don’t get it.

KDE4 offers many options to configure icons.

When I add icons to the panel and try to switch applications, no answer. I mean that the faults are in the settings as root. I do not why, in former versions I had not any problems.

Sorry, I am still very confused. What do you mean by “icons”? Widgets placed in the panel? And what do mean by “switch applications”? And do you work as root?

One suggestion: try to describe the behaviour you expect and then what happens, hopefully then we’ll understand.

Icons are pictures for individual application for example Kontact, Thunderbird and so on. I find them on main kickoff menu and I can them add to the panel. There is everything all right but I cannot switch the applications. I must switch them from kickoff menu.

There are something like widgets but different.

i think you are saying you go to the main menu, see (for example) the
Thunderbird icon and add it to the panel (how? right click?) but then
when you left click on the Thunderbird icon on the panel, it does not
launch Thunderbird, is that correct?

and, did you say you are adding the icon to the panel while logged
into KDE as root?

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

I think he may be talking about the lack of a quick launch bar in openSUSE 11.4 new KDE 4.5.85 or what ever version it is, but I am not sure. You can seeming only add icons you can use to start an application into the launcher widget. Adding a program icon to the task bar does not seem to allow a program to run. So, I added in the Launcher Widget, which then does allow you to add program icons you can use to launch an application from the Task Bar. In openSUSE 11.3 and KDE 4.4.4, the entire task bar can be used as a launcher for applications. This is a KDE 4.5.85 change though, not an openSUSE 11.4 change per say.

Thank You,

There was a bug in earlier 11.4 Milestones that caused the icons in the panel to fail to launch the apps they are associated with.

You need to update to the latest KDE 4.6 RC2 to fix this problem.

open any KDE app (like Konqueror, or KWrite, or Dolphin, or…) and
click Help > About KDE
