Plasma toolbox (cashew) location

Wed Jan 22, 2014 8:06 pm
Hello. Can you tell me which parameter is responsible for plasma toolbox location?

I remember that in Kubuntu it appeared on the left edge of the screen, while in openSUSE it appears on the top. Is it possible to change it's default location for newly created activities/desktops e. g. to appear in screen corner? And in what way?

top? you mean top right corner? if not please post a pic

you mean the cashew? afaik it's always been in the upper right corner and can't be moved, at best it can be hidden or made transparent (search for "cashew" on kde-look.org).

Yes, I mean the cashew.
No it can be drag-and-dropped

Default location (top edge, on the right)

What I need (bottom-right corner of the screen):

I'm not going to remove it, I'd like to place it conveniently for myself.

Ensure widgets are unlocked, then drag it "around" the screen to the corner you require, (take the mouse pointer to the extreme corner and briefly pause), it then changes to the 1/4 circle cashew.

metzman, I know how to place it manually. I ask, how can I make this location default for desktops/activities systemwide.

By system wide, are you referring to all users, or just for new activities for your user?
In either case, you'll probably have to look into Plasma Javascript Layouts I imagine - but i'm not sure if they offer any control over the position of the cashew.

bcooksley, I mean all users.
I've alredy thought about Plasma Javascript Layouts, but there's no information about cashew in plasma scripting manual or elsewhere. I have no idea, what property can be responsible for (if any).

I would suggest mailing the plasma-devel@kde.org mailing list concerning that - as the developers may have insight into this, if it is possible.
