Getting into the Desktop 3
Using Virtual Desktops
To give you more space to run applications than will fit on your physical screen, KDE gives you
access to several virtual desktops at the same time. Using the 1, 2, 3, and 4 buttons on the panel,
you can easily move between the different desktops. Just click the one you want.
If you want to move an application from one desktop to another, you can do so from the window
menu. Click the window menu button for the window you want to move, click To Desktop, and
then select Desktop 1, 2, 3, or 4. The window will disappear from the current desktop and move
to the one you selected.
Configuring the Desktop
If you want to change the look, feel, or behavior of your KDE desktop, the best place to start is
the KDE Control Center. The Control Center window (see Figure 3-6) lets you configure dozens of
attributes associated with colors, fonts, backgrounds, and screen savers. You can also change attributes
relating to how you work with windows and files.
To open the KDE Control Center from the desktop, select Control Center from the K menu or open
a Terminal window and type sudo kcontrol.
