[gentoo-user] [OT] Plasmoid colour scheme

2010-09-04 Thread Mick
Hi All, KDE-4.3.5 used to have nice yellow/red colours to show the upload/download KiB/s on the System Monitor (Network) plasmoid. In the KDE-4.4.* updates the colours are grey/white. The settings tab does not offer any means of changing the colours. How could I do that by editing the

[gentoo-user] is Hal required for a Synaptics touchpad ?
