KDE allows you to configure the desktop and your system to suit your
needs. The KDE Control Center, available by
selecting Main Menu => Control
Center, lets you customize the look and behavior of the
desktop. The following list explains some of the configuration options in
detail.
KDE Components
This section lets you configure the
Konqueror file manager and customize
certain file operations. You can also associate files to
applications that you prefer (for example, assigning all digital
music files to open in XMMS instead of
the default player).
Appearance & Themes
This sections allows you to customize the visual aspect of
your desktop environment. You can customize background images and
configure fonts, themes, icons, panel elements, screensavers, and
window border appearance. You can also customize mouse and keyboard
events which makes working with the desktop as efficient for your
needs as possible.
Regional & Accessibility
This section allows you to set country and language options to
your particular locale. For users with sight or hearing impairments,
you can also configure accessibility features such as audible and
visual cues and keyboard/mouse customization.
System Administration
This section is an advanced system configuration
interface. You will need your root password to configure most of
these options. This section allows you to configure system boot
settings, Linux kernel configuration, login management, and more. It
is strongly recommended that you leave these
settings at their default values unless you understand the
consequences of changing them.
Web Browsing
This section allows you to configure the
Konqueror Web browser. You can configure
options such as cache sizes, website cookies, plugins, proxy
settings (if available), and enhanced browsing using keyword
shortcuts.
