Tring to recompile a plasmoid

Hi.

I want to recompile a plasmoid, I tried several things such as a two commandso maybe more and I tried also to copy the plasmoid that I made some changes on it and that I want to recompile it I copied it from /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/ to /home/laptop/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/ and I logged out however it did not recompiled, I did some searches on the internet about how to recompile a plasmoid, but I didn’t find any useful information.

A little more info is needed. Which plasmoid? What does the documentation/homepage say? In/out-put of compiling process will also be nice. Any error or warnings while compiling?

Hi Storm.

The plasmoid is “org.kde.plasma.kickoff” and I changed these lines below to the next lines below because the “logout” button should be after “save session” button and "switch user " button, it’s more logical, I don’t who programed it didn’t think logically like that. Also I have wrote a thread about this on the next link:discuss.kde.org/t/changing-the-order-of-session-activity-buttons/32668

I changed from this: [
property string actions: “lock-screen,logout,save-session,switch-user”
property string actions: “lock-screen,logout,save-session,switch user,suspend,hibernate,reboot,shutdown”
]

To this: [
property string actions: “lock-screen,save-session,switch-user,logout”
property string actions: “lock-screen,save-session,switch user,logout,suspend,hibernate,reboot,shutdown”
]

Is it this one?

It’s over 6 years old.

It’s the same plosmoid but not with the changes that I added.

Did you remove the other one first? that one in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/ ?
May require a logout afterwards.

No, I didn’t just I changed it than I copied it to /home/laptop/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/ than I logout and I added another application launcher to the task bar after that but nothing has changed.

I have changed the plosmoid name at /usr/share/plasma/plosmoid than I logout than I added another application launcher to the task bar after that but nothing has changed.

Although it’s six years old, the author of the plasmoid may still be around. Try to contact him/her.
