Very Computer

Hi

Are there any way that I can change the "K" logo that are displayed in
KMail when you choose the fancy headers?
I would like to have cutom logo's of my choice.

Regards

AlphaSec

I don't know -- but it would be even more cool to dynamically choose the
logo according to the sender. Like you get a photo of the sender when
watching the message. :-)

KMail uses "kmail/pics/kdelogo.xpm"

So just change $KDEDIR/share/apps/kmail/pics/kdelogo.xpm for system wide
change, or create your own logo in
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail/pics/kdelogo.xpm

Hi Arne,

if you you really want it, just recompile KMail with this patch.

Grab sources for kdenetwork 2.2.2, cd to kmail, execute
$ patch < kmreaderwin.patch

build and install kmail.

Now it looks for xmp image named as the sender.
Eg. if you recieve a message with from field:

it looks for "honzik.png"

Might not be the best thing to do, but people sometimes send mails from
different locations so you may get the same picture for all kinds of headers




etc.

But if you get mail from another person

you loose. :-)))))

You may place your custom pictures either in
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kmail/pics
or
$KDEHOME/share/apps/kmail/pics

If you prefer xpm format over png, change it in patch file before applying.

Have fun,
Lada
