In +this module you can configure visible feedback to help you know if you +really hit that icon or not. + +The traditional way to indicate that your computer is busy is to +modify the cursor, and you can turn this on by choosing a +Busy Cursor. + +With this option enabled, your cursor will have an icon attached +to it for a short time, when a new application is being launched. You +can configure how long this icon is displayed beside your cursor with the +Startup indication timeout: spinbox. The +default is 30 seconds. + +There are several variations of busy cursor available, including +a Blinking Cursor, a Bouncing Cursor +or a Passive Busy Cursor icon with no animation. + +Traditional &kde; launch notification has taken another form, +which you can also enable and disable here. Normally when you start an +application, it gets an immediate entry in the taskbar, with the icon +replaced by a spinning hourglass to let you know something is +happening. You can toggle this behavior on and off with the +Enable taskbar notification checkbox, and when it's +enabled, you can set a time in the Startup indication timeout +: spinbox. + +Not all applications that you start will eventually show a +window, or an entry in the taskbar. Some of them, for example, are +docked into the &kde; system tray. Alternatively, it might be that you +sent it off to a different virtual desktop, and Show windows +from all desktops is unchecked in the &kcontrolcenter; module +Taskbar. Setting a timeout ensures that, +even in these cases, you can still get launch feedback, but also that +it will go away when the job is done. + + +
