[solved] KDE 4.2 Persistent Icons: How to remove permanently?

I'm having problems in 4.2 with getting rid of icons on the desktop and the taskbar. These are both from my previous 4.1 installation and also some I have deleted from 4.2 itself.
The desktop icons are/were links to applications created in the desktop folder and then dragged across onto the desktop itself. If I delete these, then next time I log on they appear as "type unknown" icons (white background with some binary numbers). I can get rid of these by deleting some config files in .kde4/share/config as detailed in post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64166. This also removes other changes I've made to the desktop such as wallpaper. Anybody got an alternative way of sorting this?
The taskbar redundant icons are a little more persistent, and I haven't found a way yet of removing these permanently. Any offers please?

Some people have reported this at bugs.kde.org: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183635.
This are probably special cases as there were only two or three reports + yours
I'm not really sure how to help in this case. Sorry.

In Finder something called 'vuuno' has suddenly appeared under Shared. I didn't knowingly connect and want to remove. Worried I've been hacked or something. What is this and how to remove permanently?

If you are using an unsecured or shared wireless network, then it could be just another user's computer name. If your sharing settings are correct, you have no worry. However, It would appear that at least some of the other user's settings are less than optimal inasmuch as his/hers is openly being displayed.
The next time you check into a hotel and use their wireless network, you are likely to see a number of other user's computers. Some just the name, as they share no files. While others are wide open, and their file sharing is on.

[SOLVED] KDE Panel - Application Launcher Icon Size

With the standard KDE panel, when I add an application launcher widget (it doesn't matter which one) the icon size of the launcher is too small. Increasing the size of the panel makes the icon get bigger to a point, but then it shrinks again. Is there a config file that I can override the icon size? I don't see one in ~/.kde4/share/config, is that the right place to look?

That was it! The "Panel" setting only changed the launcher icon. I guess I assumed that it would change all of the icon sizes, but so far it looks good. Thanks!

RED HALO ON FINDER ICON - How to remove red halo around finder icon?

For what ever reason the finder icon in the dock has a red halo, like a red shine around it.
How can I remove this?
Thanks

Thanks a lot Badunit.

Go to this place and see if it looks the same there:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app
When you get to Dock.App, right click and "show package contents". Then navigate the rest of the way to
/Contents/Resources/finder.png
Double click on finder.png. Does it look like what's in the dock, with the pink halo around it?
The finder.png has the original look.
The only two things I downloaded so far are:
- the app 'caffeine' and
- the QuickTime component 'perian' version 1.2.3 (perian.org)
And system wise the only difference to the week before is that I now do regular backups with Timemachine (original software defivered with the mac).
Funny enough if I drag and drop the finder app into the dock the new icon has the correct color. It is just the original finder (the un-removable one) that has the pink halo.
Nevertheless,the pink halo icon it is functioning fine. But I still would like to have it the original way.
Thanks for your support.

How to remove permanent speakerphone function??

Hi,
Pull your battery out for about 1 minute and then put it back, allowing your device to reboot. It should work normal after that.

How Can I Remove A Persistent Icon From Dock

I've got an app's icon in my dock with a question mark in it. I am unable to remove the icon from the dock(I should be able to push the icon out with my cursor and have it go "poof" but can't). I deleted the app from my hard drive but the errant icon persists. I would think that there would be a file in my system representing the icon but can't locate it. How can I permanently delete the icon ?

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Setup your Dock icons again.

How to remove folder and leaf icons from a tree

But how do i achieve this from an action script like say i
have,
var tree:Tree = new Tree();

the folderOpenIcon is a style so you have to set it with the

How can I permanently prevent the Reminder Fox icon (in the Add-on Bar) and the Add-on Bar from showing?

Installed: Firefox 27. ReminderFox 2.1.4. Windows XP Professional
Since ReminderFox 2.1.4 was installed, I have deselected the 'Status/Add-on Bar Display 'Bow' and text on status bar' numerous times, but the setting never takes effect even after pressing the Apply and OK buttons.
The Add-on Bar, which has always been deselected from the View > Toolbars menu, shows as selected in the menu, and even though I deselect it manually, when I close Firefox and then reopen it, it shows again as selected in the menu.

It is possible to uninstall the add on or to customize the add on toolbar from the Toolbar Customize option. To troubleshoot this try this article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

Hi,
No need to customize the ibeCCtdMenu.jsp to remove the icons, It is enough to change the Profile option "FND Branding size" to the value "Medium" or "Small".
After changing the profile option value, bounce apache. The links will be dispalying now without icons. Try out this!!

When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I redownload itunes, but the problem still persists. How can I fix this?

When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still persists. How can I fix it? thank you.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

How to Remove the Icon from the OWL Screen

Hi All,
Can we remove the Icon from the OWL screen for some fields without removing the Hyperlink as in the standard for Opportunity for Account Fields as shown below:
As in the above OWL screen, i have to remove the highlighted Icon.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Malkit,
You can check Icon in Thing Type like COD_Account__TT screen.
Once you are in TT screen just go to "Controller" and select "Thing Type Data" from left side pan.
But how to remove it I don't have any idea.
