&tde; with non-&tde; applications
My non-&tde; applications like &Emacs; and
kterm are running amok with strange
colors!
Start the &tde; Control Center and in
Appearance & Themes
Colors uncheck the Apply colors to
non-TDE applications checkbox and click
Apply.
How can I set my default web browser to be something other
than &konqueror;?
If you are using &tde; 3.3 or later, open up the &kcontrolcenter; and
navigate to the KDE
ComponentsComponent
Chooser panel. Select Web
Browser from the list on the left, then select Open
http and https URLs in the following browser: and type in the
name of the browser (⪚ mozilla,
firefox, opera, &etc;)
in the textbox.
How can I configure the style and fonts of GTK
applications within &tde; ?
The simplest way to achieve this is to download and compile the
gtk-qt theme engine from
http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/gtk-qt. This theme engine makes
your GTK applications look like your &tde; widget style
by calling functions from &Qt; instead of drawing the styles itself. Once
the theme engine has been installed, there will be a &kcontrolcenter; module
under Appearance & ThemesGTK
Styles and Fonts.
I have been hearing about this gecko kpart or &Qt; Mozilla, how do I
get these?
Good luck! The &Qt; Mozilla code is in Mozilla cvs, and not very stable as
of yet. In order to use it, you'll have to check out Mozilla from cvs
according to these instructions:
http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html. Then, configure either the Mozilla
suite or the Firefox browser with the option
--enable-default-toolkit=qt in addition to any other
options you would like to enable. More instructions on building Mozilla can
be found here.
