+## Important ##
+Run "kcmshell4 kded" - that will bring up the kded manager.
+Disable the *"Status Notifier Manager"* to get (legacy) systray icons from KDE applications.
+(As maybe mentioned before i don't care much about systray stuff so i never came along implementing the SNI protocol)
 
 ## Replace plasma ##
 Copy *be.shell.desktop*, *plasma-desktop.desktop* and eventually *krunner.desktop* to  ~/.kde/share/autostart/ (might be "kde4")
 The plasma and krunner service files will override and hide the global ones, thus prevent those applications from being started with KDE, while the be.shell one will autostart BE::Shell.
 To undo the replacement just remove those files again.

-I intend to add typical samples instead
 
 ## Themes ##
 BE::Shell is skinned by css and override icons, some rough samples can be found in the Themes directory.

Simply copy it to ~/.kde/share/apps/be.shell/ for a first start (themes can be switched by the rightclick menu) ## Setup ## BE::Shell is configured by an ini style file: ~/.kde/share/config/be.shell Included is a demo.config - rather for inspection than personal usage.
