[SOLVED] Konqueror/KDEmod: Bad icon alignment/disable full filenames?

Hi guys,

Hope this is the right place. I have no idea what I might search for to find the answer to this question, as the several queries I made gave results not even close to what I'm looking for on google.. I'm also unsure whether it's an issue with konqueror in specific or KDEmod, so I will leave it here until certain (and then go to the kdemod devs perhaps if its that).

I've used kde for over a year and a half, and recently switched to Arch in the last month or so and used KDEMod. Loving both. However, I have yet to figure out how to disable this default setting on KDEMod I've never seen before: it rearranges all or some of the icons out of alignment in konqueror.. it -appears- to be doing such so that there is enough room to display the full length of the folder/file name, or at least more letters. I have no idea what it's doing it for, but that's my best guess due to where it shows up. I can't see any obvious switches in the settings or menu bar.

Many folders do this, and it's seriously annoying not having everything aligned and having icon space wasted. Here's a picture if what I describe isn't clear.

Note that my icons, scheme, fonts, etc are all exactly the same as they have been in kde before everywhere else, so I don't think that would be the issue.

Would appreciate if any of you could tell me how to fix this, assuming it's not some strange bug

I just looked around in the konqueror settings, and in the appearence tab, there's a dropdown for 'Height of icon text'. Mine, and probably yours, is set to 2. Maybe you can try setting it to 1?

EDIT: Also, directly below that, you can set the length of the icon text in pixels.

That's exactly what I wanted. I was looking for a checkbox of some sort and must have overlooked trying that. Thank you so much!
