# 3.2. The Settings Dialog

In the settings dialog you will find five check boxes and two groups of radio buttons.

Enable Window Dragging

  If this box is checked, you can drag windows inside of KPager with the middle mouse button. Windows can be dragged over the desktop or even to another desktop.

Show Name

  If this box is checked, the names of the desktops are shown in the main view of KPager.

Show Number

  If this box is checked, the numbers of the desktops are shown in the main view of KPager. If it is checked together with the Show Name box, the name is displayed with ordinals, e.g. 1. Desktop.

Show Background

  If this box is checked, the wallpaper of each desktop - if set - will be shown as backgrounds in KPager, too.

Show Windows

  If this box is checked, the applications on the desktops are shown in KPager as small views. Otherwise, KPager will remain empty, just for choosing the virtual desktops.

Type of Window

  This group of radio buttons sets the kind of view for the application window views. Plain will show just emty rectangles with the proportions of the application window, Icon will show them with their standard icon and Pixmap with a small view of the contents of the application window. Note that using the pixmap mode is only recommended for very fast machines.

Layout

  In this group the layout of the KPager main view can be set. Classical will show KPager in a 2xn grid like pager applications in some other window managers, Horizontal will show the virtual desktops in a horizontal view and Vertical in a vertical row, which may perfectly fit on the side of the desktop.
