SYSTEM SETTINGS->DESKTOP EFFECTS - adjust

& APPLICATION APPEARANCE & WORKSPACE APPEARANCE

You can get KDE to look like gnome or windows if you want

Do you have any app specific window settings on those that do not move?right
click window title and look for app/window settings.

If not then maybe those are not windows but are desktop widgets? Hover the
mouse over them and Look for the spanner and window adjust icons

I will bring my net-book running KDE4 with me to the KT. I like KDE as
you can configure almost anything in it. The problem can be, tunnelling
through a large amount of options to get what you want. Also the
grouping is not necessarily too intuitive!

A few answers to this thread:

PC Monitor settings 1680 x 1050 (DGM Monitor)

KDE4 was not installed earlier (I think!)

Moving Window - Thunderbird window will not move. When right clicking
top menu I get "Menu Bar" "Mail Toolbar" and "Customize" which is only
for toolbars.

Tried Settings > Desktop Effects > All Effects > Highlight Window, this
was only for hovering cursor.

So I still cannot seem to find how to stop it.

FWIW I did install KDE from a fedora howto which was not straight
forward, maybe this is the problem!

If I have the time I will install it on my laptop to see if it does the
same thing and bring it to the KT for enlightenment!

I'm not sure what you mean by the selected window being "very bright and
glaring"? Does the border around with window brighten or the whole
thing? It could be your window theme. Open "System Settings -> Workspace
Appearance" and try choosing different "Window Decorations" and "Desktop
Theme" to see if that helps.

As for the window moving, it's possible (but unlikely) that you've
locked the positions of the windows or turned off their borders. If you
right click on the window's top border (not the Thunderbird menu but the
header of the window where it says something like "Mozilla Thunderbird")
you should get a menu with things like "Move to Desktop" and "Move to
Screen". Choose "More Actions -> Special Window Settings" and in the
"Size & Position" tab make sure "Position" is unchecked. If you don't
have a border around the window you can use ALT-F3 to get access to the
menu and ensure the "No border" option isn't turned on.

The keyboard shortcut for moving a window is to hold the ALT key then
left-click anywhere in the window and drag to move it.

Hope this helps!

Shane.

the border

It could be your window theme. Open "System Settings -> Workspace
> Appearance" and try choosing different "Window Decorations"

That was it, I had "Oxygen" and it has a bright surround on my PC with
the blue fedora wallpaper. It was quite bright but OK now I am using
"plastik".

I have instaled it on my Thinkpad and wit the same wallpaper, looks
quite normal. I do have the monitor (PC) set to quite a natural white
temperature though.

and "Desktop"KDE Plasma Workspaces"
> Theme" to see if that helps.

Looks like that was it!! too many years using just Gnome!

Yep, that seems it for now.

FWIW I did some of the tweaks in this video:

Hi

Today is the afternoon of our next informal LUG pub meeting, and I
haven't been to the LUG meeting since August I think it was. I should
be at the Knight's Templar pub for about 2/3pm.

http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-knights-templar

If there is someone new who gets this in time, that is able to come
along this afternoon, well I hope that you do and here are some more
details: I would suggest not turning up until 1:30pm by the earliest
when at least someone else is likely to be there as well. When entering
the pub we sit on the lower level at the back of the pub in the left
hand hand side corner by the plugs, or near there instead if someone
else is already there.

I hope to meet quite a few people there this afternoon.

Regards

Sebastian

Sorry but this KDE has no "Gamma" in Display and Monitor and I cannot
see anything relevant in Energy Saving.

What is more of a concern is I cannot drag all active windows on Desktop
holding left mouse button, some do work but others don't!
