97Chapter 3Getting into the DesktopChanging the DisplayYou can change a lot of the look-and-feel of your desktop display. Under theAppearance & Themes topic (click the plus sign), you can change Background, Colors, Fonts, Icons, Launch Feedback, Panel, Screen Saver, Style, Theme Manager, and Window Decoration. Here are a few of the desktop features you may want to change: .Background Under the Appearance & Themes heading in the KDE ControlCenter, select Background. By default, all of your virtual desktops use thesame background. To have different backgrounds for each virtual desktop, select the box next to the Setting for Desktop heading, choose any of the fourdesktops, and then choose the background you want for the current desktop. For each desktop, select Picture, Slideshow, or No Picture. For a Picture, thereare several backgrounds you can choose from the pull-down menu, or you canbrowse your file system for a picture. To do a slide show, click Slideshow andselect Setup (to choose your pictures and define how often they change). Click Apply to apply your selections. .Screensaver Under the Appearance & Themes heading, select Screen Saver. From the window that appears, select from a list of screen savers. KNOPPIXonly includes a blank screen saver. However, Fedora Core comes with about160 different screen savers. My favorite is Slideshow, where you can have aslide show of images for your screen saver. Click Setup to identify an imagedirectory or otherwise modify the behavior of the screen saver. Under set- tings, select how many minutes of inactivity before the screen saver turns on. You can also choose Require Password to require that a password be enteredbefore you can access your display after the screen saver has come on. If you are working in a place where you want your desktop to be secure, be sureto turn on the Require Password feature. This prevents others from gaining accessto your computer when you forget to lock it or shut it off. If you have any virtualterminals open, switch to them and type vlockto lock each of them as well. (Youneed to install the vlock package if the vlockcommand isn t available.) .Fonts You can assign different fonts to different places in which fontsappear on the desktop. Under the Appearance & Themes heading, selectFonts. Select one of the categories of fonts (General, Fixed width, Toolbar, Menu, Window title, Taskbar, and Desktop fonts). Then click the Choose checkbox to select a font from the Select Font list box that you want to assign tothat category. If the font is available, an example of the text appears in theSample text box. To use 100dpi fonts, you need to add an entry for 100dpi fonts to /etc/X11/ xorg.conffile. After you make that change, you need to restart the X server for itto take effect. TipTip08_
