In kde 3.5 Konqueror - specifically in CentOS_5 - the background colour could be set to indicate who owned the window. I can't find any reference to this in f10/f12. Is it still possible?

I've only tried it with one user and root, but the backgrounds show who's who.

I set coloured text for Root - anything I do as root is then obvious to me - I can't forget! ;-)

I'd be happy with that, but hadn't found a way of doing it, or of setting the default View Profile. Is it a 'custom font?' I'm looking at f10 at present, but limited exploration in f12 has drawn blanks too.

Run ``systemsettings'' as root and configure it to use a different text color. Then that applies to all KDE apps run as root.

Thanks for suggesting this, but when I tried it from a root Konsole it just sat waiting for unspecified input. Perhaps I'll wait for 4.4

OK: $ kdesu systemsettings did it. I've changed the window text colour for root, which should provide an alert. Thanks to all.

Hi again: I'm still running f12 only intermittently on this box so progress is slow. Since the above, but maybe not because of it, as a normal user my konqueror ikons in the panel and menu look active but don't deliver. I can only get a working konq window by 'kdesu konqueror' and then either giving or 'Ignoring' the root password. The colours differ, as I wanted. But how do I get working konq ikons back, and in file browser default mode?
TIA
