“I would like to lock both the icons and widgets on my KDE Plasma desktop so that they cannot be moved or edited. In my version of KDE, I can’t find the ‘Lock Widgets’ option. Is there an alternative way to lock the entire desktop layout, including icons and widgets, to prevent them from being moved?”
Hi - when I add a widget to the desktop (by right-clicking the panel, Add Widgets, then dragging it to the desktop), once I leave Edit Mode I can’t drag it around - it remains there. Are you seeing different behavior on your system?
For icons, you could get the behavior you want I think by right-clicking your desktop, hovering the Icons submenu, and checking the box for Locked:
Hope that helps,
What version of kde would that be?
