Kubuntu: How to get a plain (no image) task bar
Kubuntu 10.04, how do you get rid of the background image for the bar?
I want my desktop functional and not visually interesting. The taskbar (sorry I forget the correct name) background makes it much harder to see the useful content, especially the icon for selecting between desktops, that uses the same shades as the default image. I took a few google searches and a bunch of experiments just to get rid of the image (in favor of a solid color) for the main desktop. That dialog was not where I expected it and I wasted lots of time in dialogs for configuring the desktop appearance that don't offer that basic option. But I did find it. That still leaves an image as background for the bar, and I have no clue how to get rid of that image. |
Try using gnome-panel or xfce4-panel instead of Plasma panel. But in this case you won't be able to put any of Plasma applets to the panel.

I guess I'll need to poke around a bit just to figure out how to try what you just said.
Do you really mean a Plasma panel can't avoid having an image as a background? Also, you seem to be saying I can use a panel from a different desktop in KDE4. That is unexpected. I know I can run GUI programs from Gnome on a KDE desktop, but I thought a panel was more fundamentally related to the desktop package. Also, I thought almost everything in KDE4 was a Plasma applet, so if a panel can't have Plasma applets, how can it do anything? I'm just starting to learn KDE4 and don't know all that much about Kubuntu either. |

Panel from another desktop uses completely another toolkit, so it even may not know about Plasma applets. Quote:
