I have been trying KDE and customized it enough to my liking. I added panels and application launchers on each screen and windows opened shows on each screen panel.
But whenever I start an application either from the "start menu" or from the quick launch, it position on any screen.
Is there a way to have application started on the screen it was opened?
After spending too much time in settings, google, and Window Rules, I finally found my answer.
In System Settings -> Window Behavior -> Window Behavior -> Focus Tab
enable the box "Active screen follows mouse"

I would like to remove the Desktop tab from KDE Plasma desktop environment and get rid of the context menu. Is there a way to do this ?
Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. I am running KDE 4.14.8. I am not seeing what you are describing. The context menu is the menu when you right click on the desktop. I think you are calling it "desktop menu". My original snapshot show that menu. That menu changed depending what desktop theme I selected. I could not find anything call Configure Desktop. The closest thing to that would be Default Desktop Setting and there is not there about the Tweaks tab. The project that I am working on is kind of mission critical. It would be just a plain desktop without anything. The only thing the user can do is log on, does his job and log off. All the things that can distract the user will be removed. I got most of them except for this pesky toolbox.
To remove the toolbox:
right-click on desktop to get the desktop menu
select Configure Desktop, a dialog appears
switch to Tweaks tab
uncheck Show the desktop toolbox
You can also drag it to a corner (when widgets are unlocked), then it will not show the current activity name, but will still be accessible.
I'm trying to hide the system tray icon of a program that I'm calling with my program. I'm currently working on a program that provides guides and quick resources to other members of my team. I've got the program to load an AutoHotKey file at launch but the AHK icon shows in the System Tray/Notification area of the task bar. I would like to hide that icon.
I'm currently working in VB.net
So, I don't want to hide anything from the taskbar, I just want to hide the icon of AHK from the system tray.
I have done some looking around and seen some things with the Shell_NotifyIcon but I'm not sure how to implement this.
Figured it out. AutoHotKey has a built in feature to hide the tray icon.
HideTrayIcon
Place that inside the script and it will not show it in the system tray.
I just want to know is that Any other way to get the Settings Charm is active or not.
Because, In my app, the Settings of an app is in the settings charm(If user presses Settings btn in App will leads to open Settings Charm)
In my case, Instead of using the settings btn. user may use short cut (WIN + C) (or) Moving the Mouse to the Right corner of the Screen. to enter into the settings pane means how could i know that?
Is that any way to find that????
Tap in to CommandsRequested on the SettingsPane
Occurs when the user opens the settings pane. Listening for this event lets the app
initialize the setting commands and pause its UI until the user closes the pane.
Now detecting that it's closed again would amount to checking that your window is again activated - see this thread.
I have a program in vb.net which is ready to be published.
Its a small detail, but I'd like to change the icon on both the published app shortcut on my desktop, but more importantly on my taskbar (like where the chrome circle shows up).
Is there any way to accomplish this?
To change the main icon for your application, go to the "Application" tab under the project property page, and change the "Icon:" combo box.
I am developing an AIR application where I need to display a Modal Window.
The screen should fill the entire desktop including the Task Bar.
If the user wants to exit the screen, he should press Windows+D option or activate Task Manager.
Can any one post some sample code?
To get rid of taskbar, switch to fullscreen mode with
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
User always can switch to another window with Alt-Tab (on Windows), AIR cannot "lock" screen to prevent that.
Try the example here
http://flex4fun.com/2010/12/01/flex4-popupmanager-example-change-modal-color-and-click-modal-close-popup/
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, TitleWindow, true)
last argument makes the popup "modal".
