Right-click on the button, then click "application launcher settings". If the option you want to change isn't there, you are out of luck.

I've tried what you suggested and the available options in 'application launcher settings' are really disappointing Maybe it can be modified editing something in the configuration file (I've looked into ~/.kde/share/config/kickoffrc but found nothing useful there), if anybody knows how to do it, please let me know. Thanks!

To do so, run the following, which will clear any history existing at that time also: Code: Select all `rm $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/apps/RecentDocuments/* chmod 000 $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/apps/RecentDocuments` KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]
