Questions on setting up KDE 4.0.5

[Wilson, Richard E]

Platform: Fedora 9 running KDE 4.0.5-5 (Plasma Theme)

 

First let me say that I really like the new look of KDE.  There are some
configuration items I was using under KDE 3.5.9-7 and Fedora 8 that I
miss, and perhaps someone on the distribution can tell me how to make
them happen under KDE 4.

 

I manage a large number of servers in different locations, so I created
separate desktops (16) for each region to help keep them straight.  I
have short abbreviations I use for the desktops menu buttons that let me
switch desktops more easily.  So, under KDE 3.5 on the bottom tool bar I
don't have the desktop number displayed, but my abbreviations.  There
seems to be no option to do this under KDE 4 (it only turns on or off
the display of the desktop number).  I further set the desktop
backgrounds to be distinct so that I can tell with a glance which
desktop I have up under KDE 3.5.  Again I haven't been able to figure
out how to accomplish this under KDE 4.  Can anybody tell me how to
change these two items?

 

I do like way the Plasma theme handles the Menu; I tried to switch
themes to see if that would help but had no luck there.  If someone can
point me at a decent Theme how-to, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Richard Wilson
