Widget resize

[josefko]

Is it possible to resize all widgets in Karmic permanently?
I have the Battery Monitor widget, it was possible in Jaunty to resize it to be smaller, but now after restart it always returns to the full size.
In System Tray it is too small for me.

Re: Widget resize

I am not sure if you can, but maybe try this. Unlock the widgets then add new panel bar somewhere else, and give it its own battery monitor to your right size, lock widgets then restart. Are both widgets back to one size or is new panel the right size? If the latter your panel might be the problem.

Failing that perhaps a new .kde directory? ( this is a very overkill solution even if it works ) i.e

cd
sudo mv ./.kde ./.kde_backup
exit

Restart, you will have a fresh kde install, does the widget resize work in this? If not to go back to old you previous kde install just do

sudo rm -r ./.kde
sudo mv ./.kde_backup ./.kde
exit

and restart.

Re: Widget resize

Thank you natman for responding. Sorry I didn't describe details properly, the problem is with the free standing plasmoid outside panel, which is more than 1"x1" big when it is full size. I would like to have it half the size like in Jaunty.
Maybe .kde reset would solve the problem but I don't want to loose my settings now, so I will better live with the Batery Monitor widget in the System Tray.
