TDE: The Trinity Desktop for Slackware Users.

IIRC and despite all the cool stuff KDE 3.5 did, it does not handle seamless and continuous window resizing very well or at all beyond a very minimal scale. Basically if it isn't available in System Settings or a Rt Clk Menu, it's verboten.

Thanks for replying but the previous question had to do with panel resizing rather than window resizing.

I found the answer through good fortune. There are two hidden elements of the taskbar, MaximumButtonWidth and MinimumButtonHeight. The latter option affects taskbar buttons row stacking. Basically, MinimumButtonHeight must be at least one pixel larger than the defined panel height or the buttons will stack into rows. There are no GUI controls for the hidden options and no obvious documentation. These hidden options must be added manually to the user's ktaskbarrc [General] section.

Probably been broken/undocumented that way since the KDE 3.x days.

Kudos to Ray for having the Slackbuilds available immediately.

I downloaded the zip file, unpacked it, ran the build script, and everything went perfectly smoothly upgrading my system to 14.1.0. (I don't compile all the packages, but there were no glitches with what I did compile.)


More kudos to Ray.

14.1.0? Dammit! Now I find myself quoting The Godfather

Great to know! Probably Trinity maintainers could add this to the documentation?

Anybody try to compile 14.1.2?

I seem unable to compile the related handbooks in the tdebase package. They just don't show up in the package. Everything else builds.

Under the heading of, "better late than never,"
