Customizing Your Settings
You can change the way your KDE desktop looks and behaves to suit your own personal
tastes and needs. There are several ways to influence the look and feel of the KDE
desktop depending on the scope of changes to make. For users, the following options
are available:
• To change the appearance or behavior of individual desktop objects only, you can
usually access a configuration dialog by right-clicking the object.
• To change the overall appearance and behavior of your KDE desktop, use the
Personal Settings that in KDE 4 replace the former KDE Control Center. The Per-
sonal Settings offer access to numerous configuration modules and dialogs, some
of which can also be accessed via the context menu of individual desktop objects.
3.1 The Personal Settings
The Personal Settings are the central place for users to change the overall appearance
and behavior of many components of the KDE desktop. Start the Personal Settings from
the main menu by selecting Favorites > Configure Desktop.
