Speaking of Icons .... Help Please

[logan01]

I can't remember though it seems like it was very simple. Tried and researched everything. Everything minus one I reckon. How do I go from my apps being secreted away "inside" the lower left K button to being displayed on left side of screen as icons. Thanks.

unlock your widgets. . open the K menu and right click on the program you want a shortcut too and select add to desktop . if this is not what your asking . then please provide more info

Thank you. As I recall, I could display them as a single "panel" vertically along the left edge of the desktop. I don't believe it was done as individual icons. Similar to this in Ubuntu 14.04. https://www.howtogeek.com/198218/how...-ubuntu-14.04/

There are so many ways of customising KDE but this is a quick description of how I would do what you want:

1. Add a new panel, make it vertical on the left.

2. Install the Icon-only Task Manager (plasma widget for the panel). Add your desired applications to the Icon-only task manager by finding them in the K menu and click and drag them to the panel.

Done.
