    Setting up key bindings
    I am more familiar with the xfce D/E. It's very easy to set up key bindings. How easy is it in Watt OS? What do I have to do to set up key bindings?
     
    Thanks!!!

    Problems installing from Live CD
    For some reason, when I boot from the Live CD (R6), the desktop does not look like it should. Instead the screen has big icons and just doesn't look right. If for example I boot up from my Puppy 5.2.8 Live CD, everything looks fine. What should I do?

    My laptop is a HP Pavillion DV-2000. I tried booting up in the two first options that are presented when I boot from the Wattos Live CD and I get the same result.

    Look and Feel setting not working
    I'm not sure what I did but when I go into the Configure Look and Feel window when I click on any widget, I am not able to select the color options when I click on the Color tab. How can I fix this? I am running the new R6 release.
