Chris H Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Anyone remind me how to do it? Managed to figure it on a previous installation but I've not figured it out this time. Ta [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orts Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Open menu, find the program, rightclick and choose taskbar, panel or what it's called in english ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medo3891 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Two ways: - with both menu styles, kickoff and classic, drag the icon you want and drop it on the panel. - this is easier, switch to the kickoff menu style (right click the menu button and select kickoff), then right click any app in the menu and choose "Add to panel" . You can move the icon on the panel after it's added and put it where you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVDowning Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 You can move the icon on the panel after it's added and put it where you like. I never did find a way to do that easily. It seems the new icon is always added to the right. To have it anywhere else, I had to delete the icons to the left of the new one, and then add them back in the left-to-right order that I wanted them to appear.

To have it anywhere else, I had to delete the icons to the left of the new one, and then add them back in the left-to-right order that I wanted them to appear. Try rightclick on the panel, choose panel settings, now it should be possible to move the icons to the right place.

Chris H Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Open menu, find the program, rightclick and choose taskbar, panel or what it's called in english ;-) I was using lancelot and that doesn't provide the option. Added the mandriva menu and I can just drag and drop so problem solved. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I was using lancelot and that doesn't provide the option. Added the mandriva menu and I can just drag and drop so problem solved. Cheers I can do drag & drop directly from lancelot... What I do is this. First I unlock the widgets (I keep them locked usually). Then I find the app from lancelot menu and simply do a drag & drop to the panel (where I want). If I want to move the application icons around in the panel, I'll simply click on the "gnome-foot" looking icon on the right and the panel is in settings mode. The alternative is to right click on the panel and choose "Panel settings". Then I can move the icons around and change the lay-out of the panel.

I've tried both loced and unlockd widgets setting and the + sign on the dragged icon disppears when it gets over the toolbar. Do you have the right-click add to desktop option in lancelot?

medo3891 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 orts: make sure you have the widgets unlocked, right click the desktop and unlock the widgets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Do you have the right-click add to desktop option in lancelot? No. Only the "Add to favorites" choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 No. Only the "Add to favorites" choice. Which is what I have. Odd how so different people's instalations are regarding kde4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
