I don’t know hot to remove the margin below the application launcher. It is the same thing with the applets such as wifi or battery on the right. How do I remove this margin at the bottom?
OS: archlinux
latest plasma
I tried to move those windows with super + mouse. Resizing works but not moving.
i would trash that bottom panel and rebuild it… something’s wrong with it that it thinks it’s twice as thick as it’s showing.
this is keeping other widgets and the app menu from touching it.
@skyfishgoo Trashed it and created a new one, still the same. Also tried to nuke all my ~/.config/plasma. No success. 
I’d be also ok with nuking my entire kde config, but dont know how
does the same thing happen with a new user?
if not you can do this to find the file that is causing the issue so you don’t have to trash everything
# brute force troubleshooting...
mv ~/.config ~/.configBORKED
# logout and log back in again to force plasma to recreate the folder with default settings
dolphin --split ~/.config ~/.configBORKED
# copy back half of the BORKED folder contents at a time and relog to see if issue returns
# if it does, then delete the folder again, relog, and only copy half of that previous half
# repeat until the culprit is found, then finally, copy back everything BUT that culprit bit

didn’t i steal that from you?
or was is @johnandmegh
at any rate, i like to collect things like this and i’m about at my wits end trying to figure out why mekuro and the digital clock can’t be friends so i may be using this trick myself soon here.
Yes, it comes from the way I passed my Radar Maintenance exam when standard troubleshooting failed back in 1981… basically the examiner had cut a video cable, but I could still see video on the screen (maybe bleeding through the power supply rails or something…) so that my entire diagnosis was thrown off… He let the exam go on past the 20 minutes allowed, I got it in 30 minutes by doing half-split with a signal injector.
