Icon execute feedback is a software feature that replaces the zooming rectangle drawn when an icon is activated in Konqueror. This provides users with a more streamlined and efficient execution feedback.
This software review is about Icon Execute Feedback, a useful feature that replaces the zooming rectangle shown when you activate an icon in Konqueror for execution feedback. Instead of the rectangle, this feature zooms the icon bigger and fades it out, much like the execution feedback in MacOS X.
Icon Execute Feedback currently works in Konqueror, Kicker, and all file dialogs, but it requires a machine that is faster than 600 MHz for optimal performance. If your machine is slower than this, the animation may be slow.
To use this feature, you will need to patch kdebase-3.5.6, and kdelibs-3.5.6. This means that you will need to recompile the two packages, so it is best to do this only if you have experience with recompiling KDE.
Here are the steps to apply the patches:
1. Get kdebase-3.5.6
2. Get kdelibs-3.5.6
3. Get this patch
4. Unpack all archives
5. Change to the directory where you unpacked kdelibs
6. Execute "patch -p1"
In conclusion, Icon Execute Feedback is a practical feature that replaces the zooming rectangle in Konqueror and provides execution feedback that is similar to MacOS X. However, it requires a fast machine and a bit of experience in recompiling KDE to use it.
