I guess you mean the drive label. This is a horrible problem. Reality is if you have set the VFAT label under Linux to be mixed case or lower case that is exactly how the drive will show under Windows, OS X and Linux. But how windows in fact set the file system label in the file system with fat32/16/12 was in fact uppercase it.
noatime idea makes sense this is something that changes would need to be done the Linux/KDE side.

What is with this new age shit of making the contrast of text as bad as humanly possible, like gray letters on a light blue background? Or even gray letters on a white background? Designed by a millennial wuss, who thinks he (she) is doing something cute; simply because they can do it, and for no practical reasons whatever except to play with the computer; certainly not with the end user in mind.
Make it look just like a newspaper, or a properly printed book. Black on white. Period.
"To the software developer, 'User' is synonymous with 'Idiot' "--anon...
...and vice-versa, in an unfortunate amount of cases.
And I do agree that deliberate low contrast text, for whatever purpose, is a bad thing.

KDE3 let you specify default and per-volume filesystem mount options. I'd simply like that option back.

which can be controlled by means of the appropriate mount options.
Is there an existing bugzilla wishlist item for it? If not perhaps raise one and let Nate know about it, since it's a usability thing and that's his jam

This is the closest to the Windows 7 menu, and I want a official version.Last edited by Vistaus; 10 June 2019, 12:21 PM.

I disagree, I dont want some crazed designers idea of what a UI should be. I want to customize it myself. So, how about some customizability for a change?

You'd have to go through the prior posts, but you'd see there's great effort towards addressing the very issue you bring up. And they're welcome to feedback, if you notice anything in particular that really doesn't belong, let them know, sometimes it gets fixed rather promptly(depending on what's required and who has the spare time to tackle it). This sort of stuff does get prioritized though afaik.
Originally posted by Britoid View PostThere's also seems to be no single tick box to turn off desktop icons, why?Originally posted by blackiwid View PostReally? I thought KDE is all about having options and configurability, I know some people like it, because they never even tried to live without desktop icons and just are against changes in general, but come on.
But again that is all debatable but that you not even have a easy way to activate that is really big hit in the legend that kde would have good customizability, because you just ignore 40-60% of the users that never would use desktop icons.
I also find interesting that kde people are fine with desktop icons
You don't really need a faster way than that, since it's a preference thing, not something you'd do so frequently that you need to access it in less steps.

While that would be a nice option to simplify what I'm about to post....
All you have to do is remove the .desktop files from the Desktop folder
Code:rm ~/Desktop/*.desktop
