Hi i am trying to modify the javascript to create some template for kde panel right now

i can create panel on bottom , ok , top left and rigth
but for

left and right i have some problems on javascripting

var panel = new Panel
panel.length = 27
//panel.height = 800 THIS DOESN'T WORK it has maxime size i guess 400 i guess or something like that
//panel.extent
panel.location = 'left'

I suspect the length and height should still be treated as if they were on the top or bottom.

mm
ALT F2 , desktop console

then try to get the new panel on the left , i can't , no way

this is what i get

using

var panel = new Panel
panel.length = 27
panel.height = 800 //THIS DOESN'T WORK it has maxime size i guess 400 i guess or something like that
//panel.extent
panel.location = 'left'

i have 1280 x 800 but i can't get 800 for the panel with the script but manually i can... :S

Perhaps a misunderstanding?

I think bcooksley meant:

panel.length = 800
panel.height = 27

Or have you tried that already?

well no


type this :

Code: Select all

desktop console

on krunner
and copy and paste this



var panel = new Panel
panel.length = 800
panel.height = 27
panel.location = 'left'


then try to execute

and you will not get the left panel
even with


var panel = new Panel
panel.length = 27
panel.height = 800
panel.location = 'left'

you can't get the whole height even if you treat panels like top or bottom

The following code worked for me, although I noticed on subsequent runs that changing the size of the panel had no effect, so I couldn't test your original code.

Code: Select all

var panel = new Panel
panel.length = 15
panel.height = 200
panel.location = 'left'

ok but you would have tried 800 instead of 200 because for 200 i guess it works

I suspect a limiation in the code to prevent too high panels on the top or bottom of the screen is causing these issues. I'm going to try and contact the developers in question to see if this can be debugged, as I can definitely reproduce.

Yes, i guess before there was problems with panels so there were put limitations , i have spoken with aseigo and i guess i have understood that,but he has no time for these stuff >D , and so i even tried to rotate the panel but without success , i don-t know js so well , ... better... i don-t know it at all

Have you filed a bug report with Plasma so that this does not get forgotten? Without a bug report, it is less probable this will get fixed in the future.

no i didn't because , i didn't think it was a bug, could you do the report? i believe you could report better than me .
