[SOLVED] KDE 4, plasma source code question.

firewalker · 2009-12-08 10:57:33

when hovering the mouse above an icon on KDE 4 a tip pops up in less than a second. I want to find the source code and adjust the delay for the pop up. What packet is the main for plasma? It really annoying. I have been told the the delay is higher on other distros.

See the picture bellow.

FYI, there's no tooltip with lancelot.

What do you mean. I am new to KDE 4.

The tip pops up on every icon on the task bar. Not only Kicoff.

Add a widget called lancelot - it's an alternate menu. It has no tooltip.

That would indeed be interesting to know, firewalker. Perhaps you find something here:

It's probably in kdebase-workspace.

Lancelot doesn't have a tooltip. But every other icon does.

Thanks you funkyou.

I heard there is a way to turn this off, in KDE 4.4.

I had filled a feature request. Vote for it.

I don't how to program with C or C++. The following stuff may fry your videotape recorder and make your espresso machine go wild.

I made a little patch. Now the program responsible for the tip will search for a file named tooltipmanager_delay located at /home/user_name/.kde4/share/config/. It opens the file and reads the integer value inside expressed in msecs. The file must only contain an integer number. I do not implent any check for the data contained in the file (a valid value would be 3000, witch means 3 seconds). I only check if the file exists and can be opened. If the file does not exist or there is a read error the program uses the default value (700 msecs).
