Re: HOW-TO: Using KDE Weather Widget

Re: HOW-TO: Using KDE Weather Widget



I actually think that the fussiness is with the yr.no site. If you put the format required by the applet into your browser, it doesn't work. It's as if it needs different urls to view the site in a browser, and access the info needed for the widget. The openweather url works as it is. It's ...

Greenfish Icon Editor (GFIE)

1) This is more of a suggestion than a request (or as often expressed, a "demand").

Re: MX USB Maker / minstall experience

I disagree, AFAIC it is perfectly simple.

However, it could do with:
a) a "Review Choices" step just before it starts formatting & writing over the existing root directory.
b) a clear choice to NOT overwrite /home that works! The current status is that if I am restoring from a USB Maker drive, even ...

Re: MX-21 beta 1 feedback thread

To the user manual writer.

On page 43 (of the MX 19 version) there is a link to the Red Hat Manual for configuring network printers. That link is no longer correct. The new link is

Re: Desktop "grid" for icons [Solved]

Ahah! Finally found it! :number1: (After about a day wandering through the Xfce docs - thanks JayM)

For the benefit of anyone in a similar boat...
