Tyler Chris - Fedora Linux стр 8.

Advanced

Configures Shading (window roll-up) animation and automatic unrolling when under the mouse; Active Desktop Borders, which permit you to move off the desktop onto an adjacent virtual desktop; and Focus Stealing Prevention, which attempts to eliminate unpleasant surprises when you're typing and a new window appears (which in normal circumstances would automatically get focus). Right-click on the control and select "What's This?" to see a detailed description of the options.

Window-Specific Settings

Enables you to configure kwin to handle some applications differently than others. To create special settings for a window, ensure that the window is presently on the screen, and then click New in that window. A window labeled Edit Window-Specific Settings will appear; click the Detect button, and then click on the window you wish to configure. You can then use the provided tabs to configure your desired settings, such as specific window geometry (size and location) or preferences (e.g., causing the window to stay above or below other windows).

Translucency

Enables transparency and shadow effects for windows. This uses the COMPOSITE capability of the X server, which requires a modern graphics card for good operation; you can then use these settings to configure the transparency, shadows, and fade effects. To enable the COMPOSITE extension, see Lab 2.4, "Fine-Tuning Your Display Configuration ."

2.3.1.5. Customizing Konqueror

Figure 2-13. Konqueror configuration window; Control Panel version (left) and Konqueror Settings version (right)

Here are some of the most useful customizations:

On the Behavior tab/button, the checkbox "Open folders in separate windows" enables a mode similar to the Nautilus spatial mode, which displays each folder separatelybut, unlike Nautilus, window locations are not remembered on a per-directory basis by Konqueror.

Also on the Behavior tab/button, the checkbox "Show 'Delete' context menu entries which bypass the trashcan" enables you to directly delete files without the two-step process of moving them to trash and then emptying the trash (two-step deletion gives you a chance to review deletions before finalizing them but does not free up disk space right away).

The Previews tab/button configures the types of files and the maximum size of files for which previews will be generated. Setting the maximum size to a lower value will speed up the display of large directories of big files. Enabling "Show file tips" and "Show previews in file tips" on the Behavior tab/button will make Konqueror display an extended preview whenever you hover the mouse pointer over a file icon.

The Quick Copy & Move tab (Control Center only) enables "Copy to" and "Move to" options on context menus. This is a useful feature that offers recent and common directories as copy/move targets.

2.3.2. How Does It Work?

[$Version]

update_info=kfmclient_3_2.upd:kfmclient_3_2

[HTML Settings]

AutomaticDetectionLanguage=0

[KonqMainWindow Toolbar Speech Toolbar]

IconText=IconOnly

Index=4

...(snip)...

[SearchBar]

Mode=1

Since these are text files, they may be copied from one account to another.

2.3.3. What About...

2.3.3.1. ...setting the defaults for new users?

2.4. Fine-Tuning Your Display Configuration

2.4.1. How Do I Do That?

If you have a working graphical display, you can start this program by selecting SystemAdministrationDisplay from the panel menus (System SettingsDisplay in KDE). You'll need to enter the root password when prompted.

If you

don't have a working graphical display, or you've booted into character mode (see Lab 4.5, "Using Runlevels "), you can start this program from the command line:

$ system-config-display

You are attempting to run "system-config-display" which requires administrative privileges, but more information is needed in order to do so.

Password for root:

secret

The graphical display will be started in a very basic mode so that the graphical configuration dialog can be displayed.

system-config-display uses the existing display configuration as a starting point. If the existing configuration does not work at all, you may need to delete it to force system-config-display to start from scratch:

# rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Figure 2-15. system-config-display window

This dialog has three tabs:

Settings

Selects the default resolution and color depth for the system. The maximum display resolution is limited by the monitor setting on the Hardware tab; the color depth should almost always be set to "Millions of Colors," which enables 24-bit color.

Hardware

Selects the monitor and video card type installed in your system. The Anaconda installer will have preselected the best match in most cases, but in some display configurationsincluding those with keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switches, video splitters, or old monitorsthe monitor type cannot be determined automatically. If your monitor does not appear on the list, select the closest option from the Generic CRT or Generic LCD categories.
