[Panel-devel] Panel-devel Digest, Vol 23, Issue 11

Tue Mar 13 13:18:22 CET 2007

What has a dollar sign to do with running applications? Users
unfamiliar with the command line won't see the link IMO. I like the
background etc, though. Maybe you could replace the dollar and > sign
with a curved arrow pointing to the upper right (link with 'launching
an app'?) or make KRunner theme-able?

Regards,

Hans Bakker
