Initial KDE settings wizard

311Sam · 10-07-2006, 02:08 PM

how do i run the kde settings wizard. the one that usually runs the first time you install. i need to turn off file preview ( cant stand it) and the file icons are HUGE, i would like to make them smaller. i know the setup wizard can turn off file preview, but after 2 hours of searching on google i still cant find the command for it. it never did run when i first logged in

using kubuntu btw

Icon size is in the Control Center: Appearance: Icons: Advanced: Size
To turn off previews: : KDE Components: File Manager: Previews and Metadata

yea i had played with that, it does nothing for the folder icon sizes when i am browsing through the hard drive. only think i could change through that was the icon size on the desktop.

Thanks, that had actually turned up in a google search but it is not on my hard drive:

kpersonalizer

Code:

bash: kpersonalizer: command not found

slocate brings:

Code:

/usr/share/app-install/desktop/kpersonalizer.desktop
/usr/share/app-install/icons/kpersonalizer.xpm
/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kpersonalizerrc
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/kpersonalizer.mo

wonder why i dont have it?

That's weird. You have KPersonalizer files but not the actual program. I guess you should install it, then:

Code:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install kpersonalizer
kpersonalizer

To change the icon size in Konqueror, there's an option in the view menu.
