Description aapgorilla 2009-04-17 16:33:07 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

Please turn off or make optional the boxed (vista style) icon highlights (for files and folders). It makes moving the mouse close to them and hovering a very "busy and loud" experience.

I would much rather see a normal highlight (like in kde3 or gnome) it is far less distracting.

I agree with monkeyboy, it'd be much nicer to have shortcuts on the desktop be more like they are on the panel.

Comment 2 aapgorilla 2009-04-17 18:08:04 UTC

I thought initially they looked quite beautiful, better done than Vista I must say, but after a while the effect become quite distracting, so an option to turn it off would be really nice.

I wouldn't be too happy about an option - unless its configuration-file only. I'd say find a better solution and keep it...

Is the appearance of these things not controlled by themes, btw?

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
