Changing the Menu Panel Background in Debian

AJones · 06-06-2005, 07:03 AM

I want to change the background color on the Menu Panel (I guess it is called the Kicker or something) , I want to put a image instead, How do I do it? I dont see away through Control Center.

Thanks,
AJ

right-click somewhere on the kicker and either click "Configure panel" or "Panel Menu/Configure Panel" depending on where you happen to right-click.
The fourth tab "Appearance" is the one you want, at the bottom you'll see an "enable background image" box, check it and browse for the background image you want to use.

I hav edone that for the bottom panel,only the bottom panel is displayed with my image. Not the menu Panel with all th emenu items for ControlCenter, Debian Apps, System etc the Panel that appears when you click the start button, or K on Linux.

Thanks,

I don't think you can customize kmenu to use an image as background, at least not in version 3.3 which is the one I use.
3.4 might be different though ...

Thanks, I will wait till I upgrade. Are you aware of any script that translates WindowBlinds to KDE theme. I had come across a perl script called win2kde.perl this was Window themes to kde themes. I dont know if there is one for WindowBlinds.

Nope, never used Windowsblinds so I really don't know.
