Hi,

I have (eventually) decided to try KDE (from Gnome) on my fc20.

Switched over OK but cannot seem to find the display setting to stop the
selected window becoming very bright and glaring.

I am sure its there but I cannot seem to find it atm!

Could a kde user save me a bit of time please!?

Thanks

Sorry for my quick reply!

Seems its "Plasma" desktop! Can I have a non-plasma kde desktop?

I think I may be interested in that since who the book is by etc, yes
the creator of MINIX.
>> - Wrox (pub): Beginning PHP4
A book about PHP could be useful, since I have been meaning to possibly
learn it at some stage, but also Javascript, so both books might be useful.
>> - Wrox: Javascript Reference
>> - King: MS-DOS Handbook
I don't think many people from our LUG etc will be using DOS now, and I
don't, but from a computer history perspective a DOS book could be of
some interest at least I think.
>> - ?: Snow Leopard in Depth
>> - Hacking iPod and iTunes

The two Apple product books could be of interest to people I know, but
personally I don't use such Apple products.

Yes that would be good I think if you could come along to the LUG
meeting this Saturday with the books, and I intend to be there, at about
2pm to 3pm.

Is it the thumbnails or the whole window, If it is the thumbnail it seams
to be a bug then

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kwin&m=127777220430368 - this is from 2010 but im
going to see if its still a bug.

Im not a kde user though
