Recently dipped into the configuration of KDE Plasma and I found something really annoying. These toolbars at the top and bottom dont disappear, when I want to play a game, even tho the game starts and is set to fullscreen mode. Additionally, this also really fucks with my mouse in a way, that I cant use the upper part of menus, because then my mouse snaps out of the window and reappears in the upper toolbar. How do I change this?
Your screen shots look like you right-clicked the desktop and selected its edit mode. Unfortunately, I don’t read German, so I don’t know what to make of the text shown there.
What I’m describing requires right-clicking a blank area of the panel and selecting its edit mode. When you do that, a bar should appear with buttons including Add Widgets, Add Spacer, and More Options.
Tested in Plasma 5.
When I enter the edit mode of the bar, and then rightclick on the bar again I get this:
Where I can (top to bottom), cocnfigure the taskmanager, chose another task manager, add widgets, edit the general settings of the bar (which leads me to the things described in my last comment), remove the task manager and remove the bar completely.
I am on Plasma 6.3.5
Hm… Those options make it seem like like you’re configuring a widget within the panel (like the application launcher and task manager widgets) rather than the panel itself.
It’s possible that the options we’re looking for were moved in Plasma 6, but I don’t have a Plasma 6 installation at hand, so I can’t look for their new location. Maybe someone else who sees this will be able to.
