This has nothing to so with the Pager. It is just another example of art gone wrong in KDE, that is that art totally neglected engineering or usability (and in some cases is simply bad art). If you look in: $KDEPREFIX/share/apps/desktoptheme//widgets/ [Note: if your desktop_theme isn't listed, then look in: "default"] you will find a file: "pager.svgz" which contains 3 images that are named 'normal', 'active', & 'hover'. In the case of Aya, that would be Left to Right. I presume that: "hover" is a transparent overlay. What pager does is determined by these images. The same is probably true for other applets and widgets. So, if you don't like what pager does, copy the file for the theme that you are using (or default if it doesn't have one) to the same position in your home directory and then open it in InkScape and modify it being careful to maintain all the labels. I wonder why there isn't just one label for each of the three images. -- James Tyrer Linux (mostly) From Scratch -- James Tyrer Linux (mostly) From Scratch ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde-linux mailing list.
