Show/Hide desktop button gone

[Guest]

Since i am new to Kubuntu i need a lil help please.

I was messing with the taskbar which let to me losing the system tray and the "show desktop" button.
I added a new standard taskbar, which appeared at the top of my screen (including System Tray), and after deleting my bottom one, i dragged this new one to the bottom.

However, this new one doesn't have a "show/hide desktop" button.

After a little research i found out its possible to get the Show Desktop widget, however, i can only place that on my desktop, and that is not where i want it. I want it back in it's old place, next to the System Tray.

Is there a way to do this?

To add widgets (or to remove/position) them on the Panel, it must showthe 'cashew' at the far right. If you don't see the 'cashew' then right-click on an empty area of the Panel and select Unlock Widgets. That done, now you add widgets to the Panel. Again, right-click on an empty area of the Panel and select Panel Options > Add Widgets... and then in the search box type: Show Desktop

Then just double-click on the Show Desktop widget and it will be added to the Panel.
