HACK
configuration file konqsidebartng.rc. This file is located in the default config-
uration directory for KDE 3.3.1, and a copy of it is located in a subdirectory
of your home directory. Assuming you have installed KDE to /opt/kde, you
want to edit /opt/kde/share/config/konqsidebartng.rc if you want the changes
to affect everyone who uses KDE. If you simply want to change the sidebar
for your own use, edit the configuration file in your home directory. Assum-
ing the home KDE configuration directory is ~/.kde, the file you want to edit
is ~/.kde/share/config/konqsidebartng.rc. The contents of the file should look
something like this:
HideTabs=false
OpenViews=services.desktop
SavedWidth=241
ShowExtraButtons=true
ShowTabsLeft=true
[filemanagement]
HideTabs=false
OpenViews=root.desktop
SavedWidth=200
ShowExtraButtons=true
ShowHeader=true
ShowTabsLeft=true
SidebarStyle=0
SingleWidgetMode=false
[webbrowsing]
HideTabs=false
SavedWidth=207
ShowExtraButtons=true
ShowHeader=true
ShowTabsLeft=true
SidebarStyle=0
SingleWidgetMode=false
Note that the SidebarStyle is set to 0 for both web browsing and file man-
agement. The
0 sets the sidebar to the default style, which is what you are
trying to replace. To change it to the new hacked style, change
0 to 1. You
can change to the new sidebar look for the file manager, web browser, or
both:
SidebarStyle=1
