Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Well, obviously SuSE did the following: - add backported patch from 3.2 for shadow text on icons. kcontrol changes are not included for i18n compliance The problem is that the text color isn't configurable anymore and that the setting "color for normal text" is ignored. The SuSE guys should have removed this setting. I'm just filing this bug report because I expect more SuSE users to be annoyed by the fact that white text color (which is very distracting) is forced on them.
As I said this is a SuSE specific bug and therefore I close it as invalid. I just hope that the text color will be configurable in KDE 3.2.
People who (like me) don't like the white on black can change this by adding the following three lines to the [FMSettings] section in the ~/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc: ShadowCurrentScheme=-1,0,0,4.000000,0.000000,3,0,0 ShadowTextBackground=255,255,255 ShadowTextColor=0,0,0 This setting turns the shadow off and sets the text color to black and the highlight color to white.

So that other SuSE users who hit the same problem (and I'm not the only one as you can see) know a) that this is a SuSE only "bug" b) how to workaround this "feature".
Thanks Ingo. How should normal users know anyhow it is a KDE or SuSE feature. They fsck up more things. Changing the Kmenu to propiarity SuSEmenu ShadowEnabled=false works also
In KDE 3.2 the shadow can of course be disabled via KControl. But it's very well hidden in Desktop->Background->Advanced Options...->Background Icon Text.
Bug closed. Kdesktop is no more mantained.
