Panel Configuration

[farjibaba]

Hello everyone

I am using Kubuntu 12.04 LTS and plasma desktop. I have changed my start menu to classical style and add few more Item to panel as quick launch like Documents, Downloads, Desktop etc. some time when I found that few computers has lost their panel and when restoring it back via add panel -> Default Panel. then a new panel has been added but I need to add again those quick Launch Items and change start menu to classical style.

Now I want that when I add a default panel those Items should be add automatically. I mean that can I change the Default panel and menu style permanently. if yes then How .... If it possible via script then which files i need to change and with what values

Please help....

The Kubuntu is using scripts to create the default Plasma desktop:
Older: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...ll&section=all
Current: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...ll&section=all

As example: With the Raring the kubuntu-settings-desktop is installing the 00-defaultLayout.js . It has for the panel:

// ---------------------------------- PANEL --------------------------------- //
var panel = new Panel("panel");
panel.location = "bottom";
launcher = panel.addWidget("launcher");
launcher.globalShortcut = "Alt+F1"
panel.addWidget("pager");
panel.addWidget("tasks");
panel.addWidget("showdesktop");

systray = panel.addWidget("systemtray");
i = 0;
if (hasBattery) {
systray.currentConfigGroup = new Array("Applets", ++i);
systray.writeConfig("plugin", "battery");
setPluginShortcut(systray);
}
systray.currentConfigGroup = new Array("Applets", ++i);
systray.writeConfig("plugin", "ktp_presence");
systray.currentConfigGroup = new Array("Applets", ++i);
systray.writeConfig("plugin", "org.kde.networkmanagement");
setPluginShortcut(systray);
systray.currentConfigGroup = new Array("Applets", ++i);
systray.writeConfig("plugin", "notifier");

clock = panel.addWidget("digital-clock");
clock.writeConfig("displayEvents", "false");
