[SOLVED] KDE 4.12 Task Bar

Ace Blackwell · 10-13-2018, 08:42 AM

This may not be the right location, but I'm using Slackware 14.2 and the KDE 4.12 that came with it. I figured this might be close enough.

I'm not having a functional issue. More of a curiosity. Some time in the last 6 months, my task bar started accumulating repeat icons. I have 10 winehq glasses and 3 firefox globes. Its not as simple as right clicking and deleting and I'm a little leery of going through panel options and ruining the program .

Anyone have this before and were you able to get out of it?

thanks
Ace

Whenever I have problems like that I just make a new panel and populate it the way I want. Then I remove the old panel and drag the new one to where I want it (I like mine at the top)

I would encourage you to not be afraid of messing up your system. You don't need to change the existing panel. Just create a new one, put it on the opposite edge of the screen, and mess around with it until you understand how to set it up the way you want.

Thanks All,

This worked. Apparently I'm only using a default panel. Was a breeze. Still if I can pull up the widget list and add more widgets, I should be able to pull up current list and remove some. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth I suppose.

Oh and I'm a top of the screen bar user too. 8-)

Thanks Again
