In the Icons section, control the icon style for the entire KDE desktop. Icons are used<br />

on the desktop, panel, and toolbars <strong>of</strong> applications. You can choose icon themes, adjust<br />

icon sizes, assign effects to icons (for example, you can make them semitransparent or<br />

colorize them), and configure settings for each <strong>of</strong> the different places icons are used.<br />

Launch Feedback allows you to modify what kind <strong>of</strong> cursor and taskbar feedback you<br />

want for starting applications. For example, instead <strong>of</strong> a bouncing cursor indicating that<br />

In Multiple Desktops, increase or reduce the number <strong>of</strong> virtual desktops to use and enter<br />

You can switch between the desktops with the desktop previewer in the panel or by<br />
