Hi, and "Hello" everyone.

I'm having a minor issue with the GUI on Amarok 1.4.

I've been using 2.0 for a while, but went back to 1.4, due to not liking the layout on 2.0.
Problem now, I have the tab buttons missing on the left side menu (see pic), and although I've tried  reinstalling 1.4 from different sources, this still remains.  I've tried deleting the amarok folder in ~.kde4/share/apps and also the 3 amarok files in ~/.kde4/share/config it still remains this way.

I'm sure there is an old file somewhere that needs deleting and reinstalling, damned if I can find it!

Help anyone?

Have you tried right-clicking on the tab, or clicking the down arrow at the top of the tab panel? When you do so you should see the other tabs you can toggle on and off.

Hi Dangle.

Thanks for the reply.
All the buttons are selected, and all the buttons work, ie: when i click where the 'context' button would normally be at the top, context opens, so does 'collection', 'files' etc, all the buttons work ok, there's are just missing 'button graphics' (hope that makes sense).

Also, I reinstalled it last night, all the buttons were there, after a reboot, they're missing again!

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Erk! It *might* be a KDE4 issue though, since Amarok 1.4 was written for KDE3. Not sure where exactly you'd need to look though.
One suggestion would be to create a new user on your system and run Amarok as that user - this will give you an idea of whether it's some existing KDE setting causing problems or not.

If your distro is using ~/.kde4, Amarok 1.4's settings are probably in ~/.kde.

It looks like you're missing an icon set for KDE3 (at least from non-existent Amarok icon, and no wrench icon on the sidebar-button-selector), is that what you mean by missing the button graphics? If you download a KDE3 icon theme, you can extract it to ~/.kde/share/icons/ and Amarok 1.4 just might use it. I say just might because all I know is, that's where my custom icon theme got installed using KControl, back when I still had KDE3 installed, and Amarok 1.4 still uses that icon theme in my KDE 4.2 environment.

On my distro the KDE3 icon theme conflicts with KDE4. If it doesn't conflict on yours, you can just install a KDE3 icon theme with the package manager.
