If you search for it you'll find it. cc yourself to be informed if something happens. Kcontrol : might this help with configuring KDE 4.3.1 apps ? no. You need systemsettings. kcontrol is just a couple of kcm*.so. You need systemsettings if you want to change anything the easy way. There is always the hard one - edit config files would like to have smaller icons no accompanying descriptions. you can change it to do that ;)

If you have no kde 3.5 to configure on your system kcontrol has nothing to show in the left panel. Would I have more success with 4.3.1 (there are 8 dependencies)? I would say so, but i can't say for sure, because I don't use Fluxbox. KDE 4-Apps can only be configured with systemsettings (or by editing the config files by hand). Greetings Sebastian

Look (? Erscheinungsbild in german ), Symbols, advanced (or how it is called in english). There you can change Symbol sizes for toolbars. Text under icons can be deactivated under 'Style' 'Details'. or you open the config file for every app ;)
