[SOLVED] Need assistance with a minor KDE annoyance to disable please!

barnac1e · 02-05-2012, 11:46 AM

In a KDE environment, when your mouse hovers over the main bottom bottom panel and over any windows tabs you have open, I need to disable that annoying popup tab that just label what window it is that you already can read to begin with, but I've searched everywhere and cannot get it to completely stop. Anyone know where to go for this?

I figured windows effects settings or desktop settings but can't find anything.

Thanks.

Right-click on Task Manager, select 'Task Manager Settings', in 'Appearance' section un-tick 'Show tooltips'

Yes! Thank you kind sir! I never would have realized that was the cause, nor the solution!

Just thought I'd add - if you want to get rid of other tooltips - not just in task manager but also the ones for menu, clock, 'show desktop' etc, in KDE 4.8 (and possibly 4.7) a new option exists in System Settings -> Workspace Behaviour -> Workspace tab -> 'Show Informational Tips'. Unticking this gets rid of the rest of the tooltips.
