KDE Theme Question

Post by adam22 »

Hi all,

Just installed Mint 16 KDE. Have been playing around with themes, and have noticed that none of them have changed the color of the taskbar at the bottom...is this possible to do?

Also, any clarity on GTK vs KDE 4 vs Theme Manager themes?

Edit: I was under appearance and colors...now I see additional options under workspace appearance. A little confused on all the differences..window decorations, desktop theme, etc.

Welcome to KDE :wink: System settings can be a confusing place at first. I never did manage to fully understand how to theme KDE, but the new visual design group of KDE project is IIRC also looking at making system settings more clear and understandable for mortals.

This is probably way off base and useless in KDE. In LMDE I can right click on the taskbar and select "Properties". From in there there is a "Background" tab where you can mess with settings to some degree. I don't know if KDE has this option, just a thought.

Most desktop themes use their own colour. There are some that "listen" to your options, though. I use Aya.
