I am setting up a Squeeze+Trinity box to demonstrate to someone with very poor sight. He is also a newbie, which means that everything must be fully labeled. I want to be able to show a light background to the desktop with dark/black text under the (enlarged) icons and a dark background with white text. This is something I have done in the past with KDE 3.x, but can't remember how.
It is desirable, because many partially sighted people find white on black easier to read than black on white. This chap may not, hence my wanting to show him both.
Help, please.
Thanks, Lisi
Hi Lisi,
This is something I have done in the past with KDE 3.x, but can't remember how.
start the Control Center->Appearance->Background or Colors or Symbols.
Hi, Hartmut!
Thanks for your patience and perseverance. :-)

I had looked there and not seen it.... As I said to someone else, my brain seems to have blocked up with especially thick, dark treacle. :-(
All is great now, with one exception. Although I can give each desktop its own background - to show the type of thing available - and although I am going to each individual background section to change the font colour, all editing I do to the font colour is universal.
I would like each desktop to have a different colour of text to go with the different backgrounds. This I can still not achieve.
