kde 4.7.2 / Ubuntu 11.10

How do you switch back from "classic" to "kickoff"

Unlock your widgets if they're locked, then right click on the menu icon -> Switch to Application Launcher Style.

Thanks for that.

I assume you mean the "Application Launcher Menu".

Right clicking on that gives me 3 options:
1. Edit Applications
2. Application Launcher Menu Settings
3. Panel Options

& no "Switch to Application Launcher Style"

Any suggestions?

Works for me. Which KDE version do you use?

Hm, that's strange. Are your widgets unlocked?

If you can't make it switch, you can also remove it and drag Application Launcher from Add Widgets to the desired position. Something like this.

Fixed.

Thank you very much for your help, especially the graphic.

One more thing - how did you do that - would love to know as a picture is worth a thousand words.

Glad to hear that you like the animation. You can find more here: http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/HowTo
