Thanks very much. It works like a dream and I am so grateful for you letting me know about it.

This morning when I restarted my Laptop and installed all the updates, the rectangle around the analogue clock was rectangular for all Desktop Themes. Attached is the image from using Air

Further to the rectangular box issue. I have found that if I have a large clock, the enclosing box that limits movement is acceptable, ie the aspect ratio is approaching a square. As I reduce the size of the clock the surrounding box becomes more rectangular.

I prefer to have a smaller size clock than the default size. I do this so that it does not dominate the desktop but provides a quick visual reminder of the time. I have deleted the digital clock on the System Tray to provide more room for the Task Manager. In the future I plan to add extra widgets such as lunar and yawp when they become available.

I've changed the icons to how it was on KDE 4.14.x by copying some files located at /usr/share/icons/breeze/apps/software to /usr/share/icons/breeze/apps/toolbar (and replacing the ones that were there).

Currently I'm using Breeze, since it seems that last updates have broken Breeze-Dark.

Thanks for that, it certainly improves the location. However, I would not say that it is the same as for KDE 4.14 as the widget control does not switch sides when the widget approaches the screen edge.

it does not need to, as seen in this video

Plasma themes have a border, it seems, and in Breeze this is transparent. Other themes will have less or none.

Also, apt-get wants to remove the following packages

fcitx fcitx-bin fcitx-data fcitx-frontend-all fcitx-frontend-gtk2 fcitx-frontend-gtk3 fcitx-frontend-qt4
  fcitx-frontend-qt5 fcitx-module-dbus fcitx-module-kimpanel fcitx-module-lua fcitx-module-x11 fcitx-modules
  fcitx-ui-classic kde-config-fcitx libconfig9 libevent-2.0-5 libevent-core-2.0-5 libevent-pthreads-2.0-5
  libfcitx-config4 libfcitx-core0 libfcitx-gclient0 libfcitx-qt0 libfcitx-qt5-1 libfcitx-utils0
  libpresage-data libpresage1 presage

Is that ok?

And any of you using Breeze-dark are experience issues? As I've said, I'm using Breeze now because my panel suddenly changed from a perfect looking style when using dark variant of Breeze theme to this:

I use Breeze Dark. The only problem I've had with it is the panel. It's fine with Blur on; without Blur it is unreadable.

So, it seems that the problem was this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342934

After changing to OpenGL 3.1 (GLX) I had my Breeze-Dark panel back. But I had to resize the panel to get the make the icons a bit smaller.

Yes, I think those are for switching keyboard input to Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc. Kubuntu just switched to a different system for this (fcitx), and these are probably not required in a default setup.

Thanks for the info, removed. Also, at some point, LibreOffice has just stopped highlighting menus. Is just my system or is this affecting you guys as well?

The main menu item (File, Edit, etc.) is highlighted, but not the sub-menu item.

[geoaraujo]

Yep, same here...

My problems were with a resized Analogue Clock. I have just tried a couple of other Widgets and resizing them. In all the other ones I tried, they are either next to impossigle to resize, eg Calendar, or they resize and the enclosing box correctly follows.

I would therefore like to see you use a resized Analogue Clock in your example. I still get a rectangular box surrounding the clock and when I got up this morning and went to move the clock, the width of the rectangle had approximately doubled!

I was having trouble with Libreoffice, so I removed libreoffice-kde and all is well. All my menu and sub-menu items are highlighted.
