Animated stuff certainly needs a config option and needs to be coupled to=

Eye-Candy-O-meter in KPersonalizer.

Talking about KPersonalizer, it pretty much violates every UI standard ab=

applying changes that we have. I find it very intrusive that clicking thr=

it actually changes settings. i can't "trust" this application. That's ba=
