removing KDE message boxes

I'm having this annoying conflict with KDE and Beryl. My question pertains to KDE; as I move my mouse across the bottom panel and hover over the buttons that open programs such as Firefox and Amarok, beige comment boxes appear telling me what the buttons are.

The problem is that with Beryl's live window preview feature, these KDE text boxes (which offer useless information as I am already accustomed to KDE) overlap and I can't view the preview windows. Does anyone know how to disable these damn text boxes?

 

well, I dont' know about the tooltips within KDE, but if you dig through the beryl-manager settings, you can turn off the taskbar preview windows.

 

I am trying to remove the tooltips for KDE; they give me no useful information and the previews are so useful. I would rather get rid of the tooltips.

 

ahhhhhh, I gotcha...

don't use KDE myself, although maybe Pitabread will be able to help you.

 

Try this...

Right click on an empty spot on the panel and click "Configure Panel." Go to the "Appearance" menu, and there is a Tooltips checkbox. See if unchecking that helps you out.

Sweet it worked. There are multiple similar settings regarding tooltips all over the place, but I unchecked "show tooltips" first, noticed no change, and then I unchecked "show mouseover"; this did the trick. Thanks for the help.
