By mistake another grey type task bar type thing is hovering above the standard task bar for my KDE desktop. How do I remove it. Playing with right click it popped up. Its the grey box located in picture below.

double task bar on desktop

Well, yes - playing with the right click - it pops up with an option to get to panel configuration and delete it.

To remove the panel behind the task bar I unchecked a box named floating panel

  1. right click on task bar
  2. click more options
  3. uncheck box named floating panel

Lol how to mark your entry as a solution, good job.

From a context menu on the taskbar the option is actually “Show panel configuration” - and that’s what I mentioned before, you find the settings from the context menu.

What you said was that you had an extra grey bar above the standard task bar up top - which gives the impression you probably had an extra panel added by mistake… but your screenshot was tightly cropped, so there wasn’t a good context to guess.

Thank you for helping. I was not trying to hog all the glory. Sorry if it came across that way. I think mine is a bit more clearer for future readers with a similar issue and wanted to save them time from the first glance at solution.

I did not see anything labelled ‘context menu’ at the point in time of reading your suggestion, but have know come to know that any right click on the task bar is known as the ‘context menu’. I actually did click on the task bar before posting the thread but wasn’t sure where I needed to go from that point onwards. I can attribute the solution to you if you insist.

  • right click on task bar
  • select edit mode
  • click more options
  • uncheck box named floating panel

I forgot to add edit mode as the second step.

Haha no - actually you’re partly right, but future readers won’t find it correct because that’s only with an older version of Plasma which is why I was a little vague…

I have to right click and ‘show panel configuration’, then there are icons with drop-down menus instead of a traditional menu… so floating can be set for ‘panels only’ or ‘panels and applets’ or ‘disabled’ in a dropdown menu.
