Win7 Show Desktop - Icon height on vertical panel #59

Closed sicherist closed 7 years ago

sicherist commented 7 years ago

Hello,

first of all I would like to thank you for creating the Win7 Show Desktop widget!

I use a vertical panel in KDE and the Win7 Show Desktop - Icon is way too high because it scales with the width of the vertical control panel. Would it be possible to reduce the icon height or even make it adjustable?

You still using v2? It should be using a sane size on vertical panel (~8px high) since v3.

I tried both v2 and v6. Both show the same result. However I have KDE 5.5.5 (kubuntu 16.04) and have not yet tried on version >= 5.7.

You need to restart plasmashell for a widget's update to take effect (eg: relog). v6 does not work on kde 5.5.5 though.

If you're interested, you could try editing ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.win7showdesktop/contents/ui/main.qml then restarting plasmashell by running the following command: killall plasmshell; kstart5 plasmashell

You probably just need to change Layout.maximumWidth: 3 // + 5 = 8 to Layout.maximumHeight: 3 // + 5 = 8 but here's how I fixed it properly:

Thank you, it worked! I edited ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.win7showdesktop/contents/ui/main.qml changed Layout.maximumWidth: 3 // + 5 = 8 to Layout.maximumHeight: 3 // + 5 = 8 and restarted plasma shell killall plasmashell; kstart5 plasmashell

One problem however that I encountered was that KDE didn't seem to uninstall v6 properly and after I uninstalled v6 and reinstalled v2, I still had v6 - which doesn't work on KDE 5.5.5.

What I did was I uninstalled it again, and manually deleted the directory ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.win7showdesktop and reinstalled v2.
