Day One of a Full Install of Gentoo Linux (well, day 3, but 2 days were spent with the awsome power of emerge) now that KDE is on, i have a few stupid questions:


1. Where do the skins for xmms have to go in order to be recognized
2. Is it possiable to make: Gaim, Yahoo Messenger, or xmms to appear only in the "task bar" looking thing?


thanks


Im sorta still in the windows 'frame' (god damn im funny) of mind.

Do you mean what windows would call the system tray over by the clock on the taskbar? kopete can dissapear to there, and it's a good client as well. XMMS doesn't to the best of my knowledge. There might be a plugin or something out there though. Google is your friend, or more likely the XMMS site plugin section.

Gaim has a plugin for that. Look for "system tray plugin" under the plugins section in the preferences window. Gaim can also handle the Yahoo messenger protocol, so you don't need a seperate Y! messenger app.

qpkg -l xmms-themes

The taskbar in KDE is called Kicker. The part of Kicker that you're interested in is called the System Tray Applet.


  1. Right click on Kicker
  2. Choose Help
  3. Click on KDE Panel Handbook


Hope this helps! :D
