Where in the lock widgets option in 5.17.90?

Seems like Nate already picked up your bug report and submitted a patch:

Thanks for the update!

One more question! Please look at the image posted by dbc in post #4 in this thread: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/attach...4&d=1579622009

What does the first entry, [Other Actions] mean? Is it necessary?

I'm very sorry for all the confusion.

I'm back on 5.17.90.
The lock/unlock widget option is not there.
No matter what I try, I can't hide the plasma transparency widget in the panel.
But really, it doesn't matter. Having it always visible isn't a problem for me. I'd rather have it available even if it means it's always visible.
Thanks to the latte-dock developer for this!

Let me get this straight.
You're back on .90 and the Lock/Unlock Widgets is still there, or are you using something else to show/hide the button?
Just to let the dev know...

[chimak111]

Apparently, "after you install v0.2.0 you need to restart your desktop in order to check it out. "
Which I have - rebooted, I was away - but I can't see any button anyway...

I rebooted my VM as well.

X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=org.kde.paneltransparencybutton
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Version=0.2.0

So that's good!

Now, something spooky is going on! Now, if I right-click on the panel "Unlock widgets" or "lock widgets" is right in my face! All there was today was an update to kmenuedit.

The transparency button is now working as intended. Unlocking widgets shows it, locking widgets hides it.

Oh, and unlock widgets appears in the context menu.

And I have somehow regressed to 5.17.5!!!! Crazy!

Edit: somehow the beta ppa disappeared. So I put it back and I'm on 5.17.90 again. <<< because I booted into the wrong VM.

And the panel transparency button is still working as it should.

so it might need to wait for minor bug-fix releases for 5.18 (and someone to report it )).

Yes, well. See post #4.
It's there, but it isn't

Yup, this is likely just an omission. No one probably has thought of removing the option from the contextual menu configuration (even if the functionality is no longer there in 5.18)...so this is a bug that should get fixed eventually (probably not a release stopper, though, so it might need to wait for minor bug-fix releases for 5.18 (and someone to report it )).

[chimak111]

Yes, well. See post #4.

Forgot that!

BTW, it's still v0.1. I checked the metadata.desktop file.

Edit: /home/dkb/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.paneltransparencybutton/metadata.desktop still has

X-KDE-PluginInfo-Version=0.1

[Don B. Cilly]

Yes, well. See post #4.

Right-click on the Desktop
Choose Configure Desktop
Choose Mouse Actions
Click on the "Settings" icon to the right of Standard Menu

A new window, "Configure Contextual Menu Plugin", opens

Lock Widgets is there!

By the way, I tried to set up a new action using Ctrl+LeftButton. Although I could set it up, nothing happens when I click Ctrl+LeftButton on the desktop.

[chimak111]

Okay, I went back to get new widgets and there was an Update button. I clicked it. But I don't know whether I've now got v0.2 or not and how to check that. And even if I do, whether the button sees 5.17.90 as >=5.18!

[chimak111]

But you haven't tried v0.2.0 though, have you?

No! I'll look for it and post back.

[chimak111]

...
And :·) we (on 5.17.90) don't quite have 5.18 yet, so... I'm lost.

Maybe chimak - who has the button - can have a better idea.

Nope, not a clue! All I know is that the button works as advertised for now. I've given up on trying to hide it for now.
