| 1277693 | 2012-06-03 03:53:00 | Is it possible to get rid of that plasma widget thing on the corner of the screen in KDE4? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1277694 | 2012-06-03 04:11:00 | When you click on it it gives the menu options for the panel which you can also get by right clicking on the panel itself, so I suppose it's really redundant if you didn't want it there. I suppose it can be removed (just about everything can be customised in KDE, it has more options for customisation than any other DE I've ever seen ... some people think it's almost too much).

| 1277696 | 2012-06-03 06:47:00 | Why would you want to get used to it? Probably since whether we like it or not, this general style of doing things (Gnome3\Unity\Windows8) is the way things are going. My opinion is we might as well join the camp now rather than later. |

I am willing to give it a go - until you try it as your day to day desktop it probably is too easy to say it is no good since it is different! |

| 1277699 | 2012-06-03 10:56:00 | Been playing with the HUD - I think it has huge potential for the future. Start a program and want to do something that is somewhere in the menu (e.g. GIMP where it can be hard to find things), hit <ALT> and type in a key word, click on the function/tool you want and go for it. It's good!! | johnd (85) | ||

It's good!! Yeah I read about that idea somewhere... I doubt typing the name of the button you want is going to be easier\faster than clicking a menu. Also doesn't help if it's got a funny name you can't remember. |

Also doesn't help if it's got a funny name you can't remember. It's more about items buried in menus rather than visible buttons! --- and it uses fuzzy logic so you don't need the exact word. |

| 1277702 | 2012-06-03 12:10:00 | Yeah I already do that in Windows 7 and in Linux Mint. Just hit the windows key and type the app. Have been doing it for years in Linux (Gnome with Alt + F2 for 'run') and it auto-completes what you're looking for. Very convenient when you're even semi-fast on the keyboard! |
