Re: Adding application launchers to Plasma 5 panel
by Rex Dieter 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

One way I like to do it, is run the app in question, then in the task manager, right click it's entry and check the box labeled: "show a launcher when not running" (This works in both plasma5 and kde-workspace-4.x) -- Rex ________________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Roderick Johnstone <rmj(a)ast.cam.ac.uk> Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2015 12:29 PM To: kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Adding application launchers to Plasma 5 panel Hi again In kde4 I can right-click on an application in the kickoff start menus and select 'Add to panel'.

different wallpapers per desktop
by Glenn Holmer 17 Apr '15

In Plasma 5, where's the setting to have different wallpapers on each virtual desktop? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."

Re: all windows borderless by default in KF5?
by Rex Dieter 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

OK, I guess all I can say is that there *are* borders, but they are relatively small. Not sure if this is configurable in breeze (I couldn't find anything quickly offhand). ________________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Syam Krishnan <syamcr(a)gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2015 10:54 AM To: kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Re: all windows borderless by default in KF5?

all windows borderless by default in KF5?

I've seen no borders on any windows since KDE4 was removed from the F22 and Rawhide repos. Is this an intentional "feature" of the default theme? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Adding application launchers to Plasma 5 panel
by Roderick Johnstone 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi again In kde4 I can right-click on an application in the kickoff start menus and select 'Add to panel'. How would I add an application launcher to the panel in Plasma 5? There is apparently no 'Add to panel' and drag and drop doesn't seem to work except to the desktop. Thanks. Roderick Johnstone

x2go under KDE on F22
by Roderick Johnstone 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi I'm interested to find out whether the remote desktop system x2go (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php), is going to work in F22 under KDE. x2go is documented to be incompatible with 'KDE 5' (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:de-compat) but I notice that there are still seem to be (at least) parts of KDE 4 in F22. Thanks Roderick Johnstone

Wow - I'm impressed, Thanks Guys...

I used FedUP to upgrade to F22 and had no issues. The new Plasma looks great IMO; yes things are a bit different which will take some time getting used to, and I'm sure I'll notice a glitch here and there, but it is extremely nice. I have a few apps which have issues (Insync doesn't show up in the notification area), and I'll report those upstream. It is a bit slow on my laptop (but KDE4 was also... underpowered laptop), but the solution for that which works for me is LXQt with Kwin5. It allows me to get the niceness of the new KWin without all the bells and whistles my poor laptop doesn't have the power to take advantage of. I'll reserve the Plasma razzle/dazzle for my Desktop. Thanks again everyone for the hard work. It is much appreciated

kf5 apps that care often migrate settings as appropriate. That's what kconf_update scripts are for. Except in this case, it's more than just settings, it's content. -- Rex ________________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Reindl Harald <h.reindl(a)thelounge.net> Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2015 7:16 AM To: kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Re: different wallpapers per desktop Am 16.04.2015 um 14:14 schrieb Rex Dieter: > OK, fair enough. That may have to chalk up to known incompatibility, ie... all kf5-based apps use XDG_* dirs now, e.g. ~/.config and ~/.local, instead of ~/.kde well, that means in other words when you upgrade to F22 with KDE5 you lose practically all your customizations and start from scratch - bad
