I don't use Konsole
by Cypher on Monday 19/Mar/2007, @17:29

I much prefer Yakuake with it's docking ability. When I really need an independant console, I use urxvt because it's lightweight compared to Konsole. And at least, the fake transparency works with this one, and I can get a completely transparent window, no grey widgets everywhere. I've never managed to get the fake transparency working since KDE 3.4. When I choose a transparent theme, it gets completely black or white (I use Kubuntu).

yakuake is konsole. =) it just embeds it in a self-managed window that "slides" in and out of the "side" of the screen.

p.s. transparent konsole works just fine here on kubuntu =)

Yes, that is why you get the horrible configuration context menu.

What about shipping Yakuake by default binded to some function keys? it would be a killer feature if you need to do remote help desk "press F9 and type ifconfig, and tell me what it says"

and the answer would be "it says 'command not found' because i'm not root."

i get your point, though.

Um, no. It says command not found because the command is not found. Put it in your path or use the full path name.

In kubuntu /sbin/ifconfig is in the users path.

Fake transparency works when I'm in a KDE session but not when i use Fluxbox.

P.S. Great work on Konsole and the survey.

the fake transparency needs the background to know what to fake ;-)

It just doesn't know how to ask fluxbox for the background, I guess.

What I really would like to have is a docking Dolphin. Then, no matter in which desktop you are working and no matter how many windows are open, you press F11 (or any other key) and a file management program pops up. This would be much easier than first closing all windows and pressing that "Home" icon on the desktop or selecting "Home" in the System menu on the kicker. Also it would avoid to have to search the file manager in your Alt-Tab list or on the taskbar when it loses the focus: whenever you want the file manager back in front, just press F11.
