Trying to be funny :e
Hi all,
Still struggling to get to move from XP toFBSD FreeBSD. I would want to have some eye candy. For sure, KDE can do this, but I can't do it. Because I don't understand anything about it. There are some Youtube vids:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-x3icXEOm0 (from the KDE team itself, but this is a screen recording without the voice over to explain, and I find the typed text not to be sufficient).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxCK0eWV4h4 (More or less not very clear to me either).
The KDE site itself also remains rather high level, as do all the Google hits.
What I do understand is that 'activities' are used to divide your desktop into 'work spaces' where you can add widgets to.
What I don't understand is all the remaining stuff to actually get there
e).
I mean, when I click in the right top corner of my screen on that 'nut' I can click zoom out, then I can a new 'activity', but how to proceed from there?
The problem in further explaining my problem is: when you are there where you now have your screen divided up into two different 'parts' on the top and a lot of black and grey on the bottom I can not even create a screenshot to show you what I see, because screenshots obviously aren't allowed there. I know, this 'hand and feet' description makes matters only worse.
To cut the story short: would anybody happen to know of a clear, step by step tutorial of how to set up KDE4? I would want the app launcher like OS-X has it (the bottom of the screen, in the middle), A couple of 'activities', for example 1 containing my most used documents, 1 containing all sorts of useless widgets, and 1 containing for example your typical computer icons (my computer, my printer, and so on).
I have KDE 4.3.1 which comes with FreeBSD 8.0 which I had freshly installed, and I have upgraded the base system to 8.1.
Thank you very much for some hints :f
