4.1. Why could I need KPager?

KPager can be used as an alternative to the pager applet in the panel. It has the advantage of being resizeable and within this able to show icon or pixmap views of the running applications, move the windows across desktops and run outside of the panel.

4.2. How can I change the behaviour of KPager?

Clicking the right mouse button anywhere within KPager lets you chose Configure from the context menu for displaying the settings dialog

4.3. Windows are transparent by default, how do I turn the this off?

Currently, you cannot turn that option off within the config dialog, but you can do it manually like this:

Open the file `$KDEHOME/share/config/kpagerrc` with any text editor like KEdit or vi. If you have no rights to write that file, you may need to do it as root or contact your system administrator. In this file you will have to add a new key with the name `windowTransparentMode` with a number as value. Values are:

0 - No transparent windows at all.
1 - Only maxized windows are transparent.
2 - all windows are transparent (default).
