A little help!

Well, first of all this may be really stupid questions but I just can't find the answers.
I'm using Fedora Core 5 and KDE.

I'd like to know where can I find icon sets for the whole system (like those from art.gnome.org for Gnome) for KDE? I searched KDE-look.org and found only a few themes and a lot of icon packs but for applications, not for the whole system - I'd like some that change everything! I googled it but found nothing.And by the way what's kbfx?

Second, as Fedora is a Gnome distro it has great desktop shortcuts for System,Home and Trash. I managed to do that in KDE but the Trash icon doesn't change appearance by emptying it. How can I make that?

Last, when I go to system:/ it shows Home,Trash,Remote Places,Storage Media, and Users Folder. When I click Storage Media I get my USB,CD,Floppy and so on but I'd like to put my dual (Win/Linux) partition to show there. How can I do that?

Sorry for a lot of questions, mostly stupid but I'd like to know the answers.

There are a couple of complete icon sets on kde-look.org, not only for applications. For example Nuvola is quite complete.

Open ~/Desktop/trash.desktop with your favourite editor and replace it's contents with the following text:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Link
URL=trash:/
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=trashcan_full
EmptyIcon=trashcan_empty
Name=Trash
Comment=Contains removed files

You should adapt your /etc/fstab file, it defines the available partitions and devices. For example, to add a FAT drive located on /dev/hda5 you can add the following line:

Source code

 
1

/dev/hda5               /mnt/win_d      vfat            users,rw,uid=1000       0 0


The user ID shows 1000 here, run the command id to see what's your ID.

Thanks for the reply!

Is there some other web-pages similiar to KDE-Look that have more icon sets or there aren't as many icons for KDE?

Nevertheless thank you for the answers!

KDE-look is usually the place for icon sets, I'm not aware of any other sites having complete icon sets.
