System wide configuration directories
by Roderick Johnstone 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hi Under kde 4 I used to be able to drop various rc files files into /etc/kde to provide systemwide customization of the desktop. Did this change for Plasma Workspaces 5? If so, what is the current recommended directory? From an earlier post I was recommended to add a script to: /etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env to update the KDE environment. Previously I was using the directory: /etc/kde/env for this sort of thing. I guessing that maybe the desktop and kde5 apps look in the former and kde4 apps look in the latter location. Is that right? Is there some documentation on these configuration directories as used in F22 somewhere that I can look at? Thanks Roderick Johnstone

default 5.9 theme == eyestrain
by Felix Miata 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/KDE/kf59-f23-20150409-1200-120.jpg Are semi-visible gray text and borderless windows intentional? Is this theming from upstream? Is there a theme ready to select or install that produces useful contrast, maybe with a bit of color here and there? With F22 past Beta freeze and on the threshold of Beta release I'm having a hard time believing how poor this apparent default is from A11Y and U7Y perspectives. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Scroll bar
by Mike Chambers 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

I did a yum/dnf upgrade from KDE F21 to KDE F22. Something I noticed was that when an app is open and have to scroll, the scroll bar to the right is blended in way too much and cant' really see it. I know I can change themes and such, but how do I change that color or that particular part? I need to make that thing blue like the rest, or a lot darker so can see it. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best lil town on Earth!"

KMail under CentOS
by Timothy Murphy 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Is kmail no longer part of KDE under CentOS-7? Actually, I only want to run KDE under CentOS in order to create a top-level folder. I run kmail on my Fedora-21 laptop, collecting mail from dovecot on my server, which is running under CentOS-7. I have another server running under CentOS-6.6, and I am able to create a top-level folder on that, for use with KMail on my Fedora laptop. Is there another way of creating a top-level kmail folder on my Fedora laptop? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

Porting partitionmanager to Kf5 in f22
by Mattia Verga 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi all, I would like to upgrade kde-partitionmanager in f22 to version 1.2.1, that is ported to Kf5: https://stikonas.eu/wordpress/2015/02/15/kde-partition-managers-1-1-1-and-1… In Fedora wiki I can only found best practices for applications using KDE4: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Packaging/BestPractices?rd=SIGs/KDE… Is there a similar wiki page for Kf5? Is there any specific requirements or buildrequires? And what about macros and scriptlets? Thanks, Mattia

yumex invisible text on buttons
by Glenn Holmer 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

Fedora 22 w/Plasma 5, all patches applied. Has anyone else noticed that the rollover text on the buttons on either side of the yumex window is almost illegible (almost the same color for foreground and background)? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."

Yawp
by Mike Chambers 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Will yawp yet work with plasma 5/Newer KDE in Fedora 22? I know it was built for it back in August I think, but it requires an obsoleted kde-workspace-libs or whatever. Or am I missing something? -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best lil town on Earth!"

Disintegrating desktop
by Timothy Murphy 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

I'm running Fedora-21/KDE on my laptop. The window I'm watching frequently disintegrates into 8 separate windows, corresponding to my 8 virtual desktops. I know this is caused by moving the mouse into some area. But I cannot think of any occasion when it would actually help. Is there any way of turning this facility off? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin
