You can individually set the background, fonts, or window colors or use the Theme Manager to configure all of the settings from an installed package.
This module sets the desktop background. It allows you to specify a background for each virtual desktop or just one for all of them. Select the desktop you want to configure from the list, or check the Common Background box. You can use colors or a wallpaper image for your background. The One Color setting applies a solid color to the background.
The Two Color setting lets you choose a blend of two colors. Select the colors you desire by clicking on the color bars. The Setup button opens a dialog box for two-color settings. You can select to blend the colors vertically, horizontally, or with a pattern. If you would like to use an image file as wallpaper on the background, select it from the drop-down list, or click the Browse button to look for the image on the filesystem.
The Arrangement setting determines how the image file is laid out. You can choose from the basic tiling layout to such effects as symmetrical mirroring. You can also choose a random background.
A new image file and settings will be used every session. This module sets up border properties for windows and the screen. Active desktop borders enable you to switch between desktops by moving the mouse pointer to an adjacent screen edge. Check the box to enable this setting. The Desktop switch-delay slider sets a delay time for the switch to the adjacent desktop. Set this time to a comfortable setting that doesn't cause an unwanted desktop switch every time you move the pointer to the screen edge.
Check the Move Pointer Towards Center After Switch box if you want the pointer to go to the center of the screen when you switch desktops. Magic Borders sets up "snap-to" zones around windows and at the edge of screens. You can set the width of zones, in pixels, in which moved windows will be placed.

The top of the tab shows sample windows components. Click on the component you want to configure, such as the active titlebar or window background to select it.
You can also select a component from the widget color list. Click the color bar under the list to open the color selector dialog box and choose your color.
You can also set the contrast of the component with the Contrast slider. The Fonts module sets the default fonts used in your display. You can set the font for the following listed selections: the general font, fixed-width font, window titles, panel buttons, and the panel clock.
You can set the typeface of the font from the drop-down list and choose if you want it either bold or italic. Select the point size of the font, and optionally change the character set used. A sample of the selected font is displayed at the bottom of the window. This module controls the display of icons on the desktop. Icons are placed along invisible grid lines on the desktop.
The grid spacing sets the number of pixels surrounding each icon. Two controls allow you to set the horizontal grid spacing and the vertical grid spacing. Labels for icons are displayed with transparent backgrounds, allowing the background to be visible underneath them by default.
Uncheck the Transparent Text for Desktop Icons box if you would like to view the background box of the label. You can set the color of text labels by clicking the Icon Foreground Color button. If backgrounds are nontransparent, you can choose their color by clicking the Icon Background Color button. The final setting on this tab allows you to show hidden files files that begin with a dot on the desktop.
If your hardware supports power management, you can enable it by clicking the DPMS enabled button. Now you can set the amount of idle time before the system goes to standby mode, then suspend mode, and finally turns off. Themes provide an overall visual style to your desktop, instead of you having to configure items individually. A theme can determine the color scheme of windows, the font styles, icons, the background, and even sound events for your desktop.
TheInstaller tab, shown in Figure , lists the themes you have installed on your system. Local themes are themes that are installed or customized by the user and stored in his home directory. The user is able to edit and save local themes. Global themes cannot be altered by individual users. If you select a theme from the list, a sample desktop image using the theme is displayed on the tab, with a short text description. If you would like to apply a new theme, select from the list and click the Apply button.
You can also manage installed themes on the Installer tab. To install a new theme that you have downloaded, click the Add button. Specify the filename and location of the theme's.
The Save button lets you save the currently configured theme as local or save a global theme as local. The Save As button saves the currently configured theme as a separate local package without altering the original theme. The Create button works similarly, allowing you to copy your current working theme as a new local theme package. The Remove button deletes a local theme or inactivates a global theme. The Contents tab shows the components that are configured by a theme.
A theme may not have settings available for all the listed components. If a theme configures a specific component, it is listed as available. Otherwise, the component is listed as empty. Use the checkboxes to select which theme components you want to use. If you choose to not activate a specific component, information on that component from a previous theme will be used if its information is still in the theme manager work directory.
If you don't want this to happen, activate the component, even if it is listed as empty, and default settings will be used. The Language module sets the preferred locale language settings for your programs. The drop-down lists allow you to choose first, second, and third choices for the language, if programs make them available. This module sets up your screensaver. A list of available screensavers is shown with a preview window.
If you do not want to use the screensaver, select No Screensaver from the top of the list. Otherwise, select the screensaver you want to use.
The Setup button opens a dialog box that contains specific configuration settings for each screensaver. For a full-screen test of the screensaver, click the Test button. The Settings section allows you to set the amount of time the system is inactive before the screensaver starts.
Type in the number of minutes in the Wait For box to set this time. If you check the Require Password box, the user must supply her password before returning to the desktop. You can also check the box to Show Password as Stars to display the password text as asterisks, instead of the field being blank. The Priority control lets you adjust the priority that the screensaver process has when it is run. If you have lots of important server activity, for example, set the priority to low so the performance of other programs will not suffer.
The Style module contains a couple of settings for the display of windows and icons. Draw Widgets in the Style of Windows 95 enables window components to have a similar look to those used in Windows. The Icon Style section allows you to set the size of icons to either Normal or Large. You can set the size for icons in the following locations: on the panel, in the file manager and desktop, and at all other locations. The Information modules allow you to view status information about various system components.
There are no configuration settings here, but if you need to see information about your processor or what PCI devices you have installed, use these modules. Information is provided for the following system components:. The modules here control the configuration of the keyboard and mouse. This module configures keyboard repeat. Select the On option to enable keyboard repeat, and use the slider to set the volume of keyclicks.
If you don't want keyclicks, set the slider to 0. This module configures the movement and button layout of your mouse. The Acceleration slider sets the speed at which the pointer moves on your screen when you move your mouse. The Threshold slider set the distance in pixels that the mouse must move before pointer movement occurs. The Button Mapping options let you choose if you use the mouse with your right hand or left hand. You can choose the scheme used for shortcuts by selecting the KDE defaults or the current scheme if you have customized the shortcuts.
The bottom section of the tab allows you to edit the selected keyboard shortcut. You can choose no key for the action, the default key, or a custom key. If you want to customize a key, check the box for the modifier you want to use Shift, Ctrl, or Alt , or unselect all of them if you don't want a modifier.
If you need to change a specific config value say, in a script , you could use kwriteconfig. June 25th, 3. Re: KDE control center from command line In case it wasn't clear from Zorael's post, just type "systemsettings" at a prompt.
June 27th, 4. I had looked through all commands with a "k" in front--but I guess plain systemsettings didn't occur to me.
