Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: FreeBSD Ports Compiler: gcc 3.2.2 gmake 3.80 OS: FreeBSD There appears to be no way to prevent KDE settings from being applied to non-KDE applications. The KDE help center says that if non-KDE applications are displaying strangely, to do the following: Start the KDE Control Center and in Look and FeelStyle uncheck the apply KDE settings to non-KDE apps checkbox and click Apply. However, in KDE 3.1.2, there is no "Look and FeelStyle" in Control Center, nor is there any option to apply KDE settings to non-KDE apps. Please direct us to what we need to do to use non-KDE apps in KDE. In my case, even XMMS and mozilla are screwed up!
It's under Appearance & Themes -> Colors ("Apply colors to non-KDE apps"). I'll reassign this to the documentation package, since the note needs correcting. However, if there are cases where the exporter is obviously wrong (i.e. it's not just that the colorscheme doesn't fit for non-KDE aps), that may be a bug on its own.
Just to make things clearer I think this refers to the kcontrol internal help for the colors module, not the manual. ( Index Search _Help_ ) The manuual is fixed AFAIK. Rainer
Not FreeBSD specific. The help in the control center (select Appearance & themes / colors, then click tab help) says Non-KDE applications may also obey some or all of the color settings. See the "Style" control module for more details. I don't think "Style" is appropriate here - the "apply colors to non-KDE" checkbox is now in the colors kcm, and style has nothing obvious related to this issue. The string freeze, of course, prevents fixing this.
Created attachment 3918 [details] Patch to fix kcm module internal help Patch to fix the kcm module when freeze is unfrozen, so I don't forget about it.
All the docs now fixed in CVS (the specific text mentioned originally here turns out to be from the FAQ) Leaving open, since the embedded help in KControl needs fixing (patch attached for that)
