Re: KF 5 & Plasma

Hello,

plasma 5.7.1 has been released, I did the upgrade, but now I notice that the icons in system tray are too big :

http://reho.st/self/b4d80955900e1755124 … e77461.jpg ( breeze theme )

in earlier versions of plasma ( 5.5, 5.6 ) these icons were much smaller :

Do you know a solution for setting a custom size for these icons in system tray ?

thanks

KDE Forums - thread: system tray icons: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=131736

=>

/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.private.systemtray/contents/ui/main.qml

line 34:

property int itemSize: Math.min(Math.min(width, height), units.iconSizes.medium)

units.iconSizes.medium is the default - at the moment

Icon size can be: "small", "smallMedium", "medium", "large", "huge", "enormous"

Re: KF 5 & Plasma

thanks Rog131,

I edited the file /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.private.systemtray/contents/ui/main.qml,

I changed line 34 like this :

property int itemSize: Math.min(Math.min(width, height), units.iconSizes.medium)

to

property int itemSize: Math.min(Math.min(width, height), units.iconSizes.smallMedium)

"smallMedium" solves the problem, thanks for this workaround

Edit /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.private.systemtray/contents/ui/main.qml 
Look for:
units.iconSizes.medium
and set to:
units.iconSizes.smallMedium

You need kdepim 16.08

Doesn't appear to exist yet, unless you meant 15.08?

No, I meant 16.08, and you're right, it doesn't exist yet.

Re: KF 5 & Plasma

I noticed the calendar events have returned to the clock widget, any idea why it's not syncing to korganizer?

Maybe you should to try eventcalendar... Take a look at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plas … ntcalendar

Re: KF 5 & Plasma

Hi, there were some "improvements" introduced to kscreen in plasma 5.7. Since upgrade from 5.6.x to 5.7 (this applies to 5.7.1 as well) my dual screen settings are not remembered after re-logging in. I set the wallpapers, panel, widgets, desktops layout etc. and after logging out and logging in I get only one screen configured and the second is black. In fact the second screen is working, I can move windows to it, but it has no wallpaper but black background, right mouse click doesn't work on that screen. To make it usable I have to go to systemsettings, disable black monitor, enable it, and then re-configure it one more time. But as I wrote the changes disappear after re-logging in. I've created brand new test user account to check the issue with fresh settings but the behaviour is exactly the same. Anybody experienced similar situation?

Hi,

known issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353975 "killall plashmashell && plasmashell" seems to fix it for the session.

Re: KF 5 & Plasma

Hi

Some of the desktop effects are not working on my system. I set Blur and Background contrast ON, i got a panel without effects but Taskbar thumbnails works fine.

VGA: ATI Radeon 5770 Vapor-X

My system is up to the date:
Kernel 4.6.4
mesa 12.0.1
xf86-video-ati 7.7.0

Workaround: killall plasmashell && plasmashell

No Effect

Workaround

Any solutions? Thanks!

"smallMedium" solves the problem, thanks for this workaround

yes it's a workaround, but it's not the general solution I hope? Do I have to do this workaround after every update?

Is there a relation to this post/fix?

So in 5.7 the panel icons in the new system tray are fairly tiny, how do you make them larger, or simply restore them to the 5.6 size? Widening the panel just adds more rows rather than having the icons increase in size.

Will be fixed in 5.7.1

Re: KF 5 & Plasma

After Update to Qt 5.7 I "lost" my icons for KRDC, Krfb and Alsaplayer in the application menu. With Update to KF 5.24 or new Plasma I also lost my icon for KWallet in Systemtray. The icons are replaced by the default ? breeze icon (white paper with a kink in the bottom right corner). Any idea?
Thx

Edit: same issue with new user

I've noticed someting similar, after login (I do have auto-login with sddm) the plasma panel is not transparent. Running

kwin_x11 --replace

fixes that for me (I'm not sure it's the same issue).

Thanks for this, I added that one line to my KDE startup.  It appears to be an all in one solution.  When I rotate the cube for virtual desktops the weird 640x480 black box is gone AND it resets plasma to the proper screens.

Edit:  Nevermind.  The kwin command doesn't do all that.  I need to use kill plasmashell/plasmashell and kwin_x11 to fix everything.  plasmashell fixes the loss of monitor configurations but not the artifact on switching virtual desktops, and kwin appears to do nothing if the plasmashell hasn't been restarted first.

Re: KF 5 & Plasma

The mod team feel that this topic has served it's original purpose, and has become overly large (something that our code of conduct tries to prevent). For these reasons I have closed and unstickied it. It will remain in the Applications and Desktop Environments subforum where it is still publicly viewable, but no new posts will be added. If you have an unsolved problem in this topic, or a new problem regarding plasma, please open a new topic about it.
