Hi all,
Can anyone help me find the config file for the global menu?
I used to update the column spacing in the following file:
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.appmenu/contents/ui/main.qml:
columnSpacing: 10
Which worked great, however this file seems to have disappeared since upgrading to Plasma 6.6.
Can anyone help shed some light on where the settings for the global menu went?
Many thanks in advance!
when i want to find a file that was changed because of GUI tweak, i use this script to list the most recently changed files in my /home directory.
find -not \( -path ./snap -prune \) -not \( -path ./.cache -prune \) -type f -mmin -1 -printf "%C+ %p\n" | sort -n | tail -10
i’ve excluded snap and cache because of their high traffic rate
@Storm It’s not that one unfortunately. I did come across that one after searching for appmenu. I think that file was there on 6.5 if I remember correctly.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
@skyfishgoo Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn’t turn anything relevant up, though I have made a note of that command for future reference. Cheers!
Yeah I’m just hoping the config wasn’t baked into the executable rather than being available in a qml/config file.
All I really want is to set the spacing - the app itself works fine for me (GTK issue aside).
I might try emailing the author to see if they’ll include the setting in the config panel.
Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions in the meantime though, really appreciate it.
Is this the new trend?
I wonder why increasing number of plasmoids are becoming like that?
For example, I used to tweak the plasmoids “Show Desktop/Minimize All Windows” and “Trash” by editing their configuration files so that they display their color icons in my Unity-style 48px panel on the left, but this is no longer possible, and I have to use them in System Tray.
