Here you will find settings that change the way your KDE desktop and applications look.

Background

This section controls the color or image that is set as your desktop background. These settings can
be applied to all virtual workspaces, or to only a specific one. There are a range of background
wallpapers that come with KDE or you can supply your own.

Colors

This is where you can modify the colors for your KDE applications. There are a variety of color
schemes installed with KDE by default, and you can find others at KDE-look.org. You can also
create your own. Here you can also modify the contrast and choose whether you want your KDE
colors to be applied to non-KDE applications, for a more consistant overall appearance.

Fonts

Here you can control the various font settings for KDE applications. You can also modify here
anti-aliasing settings, including what range of fonts to exclude from anti-aliasing settings.

Desktop Icons

This section is where you can manage your icon themes and other settings related to icons. New
icon themes can be downloaded from KDE-look.org, and installed here. Conversely, you can
remove icon themes by highlighting them in the list and clicking remove. You can also set icon
sizes for various uses in KDE and effects to apply to icons.
