Customizing Your KDE Desktop<br />

You can change the way your KDE desktop looks and behaves to suit your own personal<br />

tastes and needs. If you only want to change the appearance <strong>of</strong> individual desktop objects,<br />

you can usually access a configuration dialog by right-clicking the object. For customizing<br />

certain groups <strong>of</strong> desktops elements or changing the overall appearance <strong>of</strong> your<br />

KDE desktop, refer to Section 6.2, “Configuring Your Desktop with the Control Center”<br />

(page 166).<br />

Procedure 6.1 Creating New Desktop Objects<br />

To add a new desktop object, proceed as follows:<br />

1 Right-click an empty space on the desktop and select Create New.<br />

2 From the submenu, choose the type <strong>of</strong> object to create on the desktop: a folder,<br />

file, or one <strong>of</strong> several types <strong>of</strong> links.<br />

3 Enter the name <strong>of</strong> the new object when prompted to do so.<br />

4 To change the properties <strong>of</strong> the new object, right-click the new icon and select<br />
