Bluecurve and KDE Windows

General_Tso · 03-13-2003, 10:40 PM

Folks:

I tried searching for this, but I wasn't sure exactly how to look for it so this is going to be really non-technical. You know how in KDE the windows stick to each other when you drag them adjacent to each other? Is there any way to replicate that in Bluecurve?

Thanks. And sorry for the grossly vague non-technical language...

Isn't Bluecurve just a theme, by default for Gnome, but also available in KDE? I think the Redhat team broke bits of KDE with it though...eg shutting down

Yes, Bluecurve is just a theme which is available for KDE and Gnome, not a Desktop Environment in it's own right. It's part of RedHat's effort to unify KDE and Gnome.

As for the window movement thing, it wont work under Gnome, as far as I know. But if you are using KDE, then it should be available in one of the configuration options in the Control Centre.

Are you, by some chance, using Gnome, and want to be using KDE, which is also available with RedHat, albeit a slightly broken version ?

viciousfish,

Honestly, I like Gnome but I like that particular feature of KDE. When I was playing with Mandrake 9.0, I used KDE a fair amount but I haven't used it in Red Hat yet. I figured Linux is so customizable that I could enable that in Gnome too. Just curious.

Thanks,
