where is empty trash bin option with kdemo4

Hi guys !

I'm new with kdemod , and i really like it . However i have some questions , where is the empty trash bin option ? When i right click on the trash icon all i get is delete icon and some other options abou the icon .

Also , why i can't see downloaded files (which are downloaded to desktop) on desktop and i have to go through /home/myname/Desktop to access them ?

And lastly , i want to use kdemod with no effects at all , i go through System Settings , Desktop and turn off Desktop Effects ? (i did that and i can still see the preview of windows when the mouse goes over them)

Thanks for your help smile

Re: where is empty trash bin option with kdemo4

About the trash can - What icon are you refering to? The one on the desktop? Anyway I see the option to empty for any trash icons (on desktop or in dolphin) so I'm not sure what the problem is on your end.

For the desktop view, I know there's a setting that needs to be changed to get that, but I don't know it myself.

For the window preview - Is that the only effect you're seeing? If you mean the preview in the task bar, that's not turned on or off by the desktop effects. If you right click on the task bar you can get to options and uncheck "show tooltips"

Did you just drag and drop the trash icon from dolphin to the desktop or something like that?

Try adding the trash plasmoid to your desktop. Works for me.


want a modular and tweaked KDE for arch? try kdemod
