CHANGELOG

Last changelog:

update to v0.8.3 24 days ago

* FIX: support multi-screen plasmoids that use plasmoid.screenGeometry such as plasma pager, plasma taskmanagers etc. Latte did not update the plasmoid.screenGeometry value properly in previous versions
* FIX: do not crash when moving launchers that are being synced between multiple docks/panels
* FIX: make sure that launchers order between synced docks/panels is always the current one after the user has ended its dragging
* FIX: support fillWidth/Height plasmoids better (such as plasma taskmanagers), now such applets can be added for all alignments including Left/Center/Right
* FIX: do not show the warning message "Your layout file is broken" when the statement is not valid. This check validates that the containments and applets ids are unique in a layout file but the way this was implemented in the past it was returning false results in some cases

1. the only way to maximize the panel is with Justified mode. I use a similar layout with yours, if you want to disable the automatic shrinking you can got at Setting->Tweaks->(uncheck) Shrink applets when it is needed. In that way I am also using the Active Window applet with fixed width with no issues...

2. the size of the panel must be a division of 8 this is why 16,24,32,40,48 it is a smart way to support this way icon sizes that do not blur the icons in normal mode. The global menu layout of Active Window for 24 px. and 32px. I dont like it either but I think this could be also a feature request for its developer. I think that if Latte is used more and more the plasmoid developers will notice their plasmoids behavior and make look and behave more properly... On the other hand if plasmoid developers want something from our side that improves the experience, of course and we are open for suggestions, ideas etc....

3. Thank you very much for this... :) we designed multi-screen support from the ground up and put a lot of love and care in it... :) there is only once small bug in 0.6.0, filter tasks by screen is not working correctly between different screens... of course this has been fixed already and it will land with upcoming 0.6.1 version

1. I unchecked that box, and am still running into the issue where fixed width mode doesn't work. =/ It's still confined to just the application icon rather than filling the entire empty length of the panel.

2. Understood, but disappointing. Especially since things like finite control is why I use Plasma. :D

1. the only way I managed to reproduce what you are describing in by having enabled for Active Window plasmoid the "Fill Width" option... this option must unchecked in order for fixed width of Active Window to work correctly...

But I don't want to have it be fixed width as it screws with other Plasmoids that might be dynamic in size, like the standard global menu Plasmoid, especially when I have applications open with a lot of menus such as Krita or Kdenlive. So I use the "Fill Width" option to have the AWC Plasmoid be dynamic too.

We found a solution for (1) and it is already added in our master branch...
it will land in 0.7 version...
all applets that have set fillWidth or fillHeight are respected and fill the remaining space... the calculations take into account the multiple use of them of course.. I tested it with three different active window plasmoids placed around and it worked really good...

TBH, it's not so nice to have things be listed on the KDE store that can't be installed through KDE's native "Get New X" application...

You can install latte from AUR, and afterwards run latte-dock, right click anywhere in the dock and choose Latte Settings

Thank you for replying, I did install it from AUR, also I installed it from the +Widgets area and it does install and I can indeed go into the Prefrences, that is not the issue here, no matter what version I install or from where I install it I do not get the Appearance menu, I even did a clean install just to rule it out, I have no control of the zoom or profile or what the dock does (visible, intelihide, etc) Now, a couple of versions back I know latte-dock did have that menu, it was just tricky to get at. Any help is greatly appreciated.

As you can see in the pic in the link the screen is blank with no options. And this holds true regardless of how I run it, install it or what ISO or system I install it.

this is the Latte plasmoid and not the Latte app...

go to terminal and run latte-dock, what is happening?
error messages?
nothing happens?

but from the screenshot I think that Latte is not installed correctly...

How can i add kde application menu widget and system tray widget to latte dock. I can see clock available as default but can't figure out how to add other installed widgets.
Also how to add other application launchers to this dock. I tried drag and drop which does not work and no option to add other application launchers even if i right click

drag n' drop from official plasma widgets explorer...

the dock needs to be built and installed... afterwards it runs with just executing 'latte-dock'.... Depending on your distro it may a package for 0.6 is already provided by it... Arch has already included 0.6 version and for openSUSE is just a matter of hours...

you can drag n' move plasma widgets when you are in editing mode (editing mode is when the Latte configuration window is shown)

Report

In editing mode the Lock/unlock icon overlays the widget/launcher icon and one has to place the mouse pointer away from lock icon towards the top edge of widget icon to drag. please show dark icon on light background instead of grey and reduce the overlay square for lock / unlock to minimum.
