Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by neptune3k 39 comments

Don't know, it looks as though basket doesn't use the kicker background to display its systray icon. It may come from the ability to show the current basket icon in the systray. To achieve that feature, the developer has probably used a QPixmap and thus lost the transparency of the basket icon.

It usually is automatically well displayed but it you modify the transparency of the icon, then you'll have to manager kicker's background yourself...

It's only a suggestion, I may have wrong diagnosed. - Dec 08 2006

I'll try to do so... However I can't promise anything (human memory is still perfectible)... So may I not be the only one to remember of it... - Jan 07 2006

!!! BEAR IN MIND THAT IF YOUR KONSOLE COLOR THEME DOESN'T MATCH : EVERYTHING IS SKINNABLE !!!

that should answer your first wish... about the wheel, i'll follow your advice :) - Oct 15 2005

If you read the other posts, you'd have noticed other people have made the request... I'll answer the same as usual : yakuake is based on the konsole kpart provided by the kde developpers, it is then limited by the kpart abilities. I can't yet provide copy/paste ability since it's not possible using the kpart widget (neither kate, nor kdevelop provide it for the very same reason).

another thing is that you just can't use CTRL+C/V shortcuts with any console since CTRL shortcuts are blocked by the shell (for signals : SIG_INT, SIG_TERM...)

I can however say that paste ability will be soon available (I've found a trick to provide it, so are the dcops functionalties)... but wait a little bit, so that I have the time to write the source code... - Oct 09 2005

Lots of people ask me that functionality but I have a problem : wouldn't it be usable ? indeed, I don't think I could tolerate a window that would switch on everytime I move my mouse on top of the screen so as to move a window or access to the properties of a maximized window... or even while watching a film...

However if you can convince me those fears aren't real I'll be glad to add that feature to the next releases... - Oct 09 2005

for that type of transparency you only have to use a konsole predefined schema... right click in the konsole part and change your color schema... - Oct 09 2005

After a few tests, I found out the application crashes if it doesn't find the files listed in the skin file. In your case, the bug happens because of 'plus_up.png' which isn't located where it should be... However, I can't explain why... but it may explain why it worked after a second installation... - Oct 02 2005

If you don't use locale and yakuake crashes about it, try removing the i18n function from the code :

About tabs, I'm seriously thinking about integrating that feature...

But about your theme request, I can't do anything for you : I've made the interface skinnable so you should think of creating your personnal skin (or modifying the existing one)... - Sep 27 2005

A friend of mine has made me understand that this functionality was not required and could further more be damagable to yakuake usability...

However if some of you really want that functionality to be implemented I'll provide it in the next release. - Sep 25 2005

Unless you prove me the contrary, it seems the konsole kpart doesn't support that shortcut (neither kate, not kdevelop have been able to use it)...

But if you have an idea, I'll be glad to insert it into yakuake. - Sep 25 2005

I'll see what I can do for multitabs konsole... don't worry ;-)

About the idea of ljubomir about changing konsole when you switch to another desktop, I'll probably implement it soon (if I find out how ;) and provide it as an option.

About showing the konsole when the cursor is at the top of the screen, I absolutely do not know how to do so... So if someone has the slightest idea about it... tell me ;-)

Well, you see, when your aren't pleased by a soft but you think the idea is fine, you rebuild it so as to match your wishes... then you publish it since you think community is a good thing ;-)... That's what I did, I explained above my reasons to redo kuake...

About the 4 different version of kuake I can only say that some of them are dead, others don't match my views and work not as well as wished... maybe would it be time to asks the community which of them it prefers... - Sep 16 2005

This problem is rather frequent and I truthfully can't explain why it happens in some systems and not in others... however a 'bad' solution is to slightly modify the source code of the style : at the 24th line of the file replace by the complete path to the 'data' directory... if anybody knows why it happens sometimes and how to prevent that bug, tell me ;-) - Sep 10 2005
