Kicker appearance

I've seen screenshots before of people that have gotten rid of that "frame" in the kicker. I don't know how to explain it really but the tastbar, sys tray, and clock have a square around them, so it looks like they're sunken into the kicker...It's the default KDE look for the kicker appearance.

Anyways ~ I know you can get rid of that "3D" effect, does anybody know how?

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not sure if I understood you, but you can use a background in kicker. Go to kde-look.org and search for some. Perhaps this may be youre solution.

The kicker by default has a box drawn around the system tray, taskbar, and clock. Kind of a border. That's what I'm trying to get rid of.

Thats a "sunken" frame.
Perhaps the users you referred to use a widget which is not capable of drawing sunken frames, or they recompiled kicker and the applets which use sunken frames.

Or they used something that looked similar to kicker but is a different program.

How would I go about recompiling the kicker to get rid of sunken frames?
