Too funny!

[claydoh]

Your eyes are a lot better than mine--you mean that's a fork?! Okey-dokey, now that I know what I'm looking for...go eat your dinner! Don't let it get too cold.

Inside joke, it was a salad. Technically it was getting warm lolol.

I have no way to know what the heck the rocket icon is for, or which one is the quicklaunch widget ...

BUTT... the icon is very conveniently and logically called...'fork.png' and/or 'fork.svg' .
I'll leave you to find out which specific folders they reside in, my din-din is getting cold

I've highlighted it here, @claydoh:

With all the other [app] icons, I located them and edited them in the GIMP, turning them blue. But I'm stuck on this! And it ruins my pretty, blue theme.

so it is a plasma widget. Should not be too hard to figure out where it is found in /usr/share/icons............just gotta find the rocket.

[claydoh]

do you mean the quicklaunch widget, or the systray arrow icon?

Assuming the latter, you will need to do things similar to changing application icons, but with widget components. Find a plasma style that has an arrow that suits you, and copy the arrows.svg file from the theme's widgets folder into the corresponding widgets folder in your current theme (you may have to create it, many themes just use the stock widget components)

Here's my current look; I think they're all self-explanatory, but will clarify if anyone asks!

systray:


app icons:


As you can see, I have a blue theme going--but I haven't figured out how to edit the icon for the Quicklaunch widget. Clues?

status/notifications:

[claydoh]

But the numbers feature was still removed, though I doi nopt dig in to find out exactly when.

Yeah right... but it was there long before that.
And it wasn't black and horrible like this, it was grey and nice like that, except it didn't have the blue "progress" circle around it - well, obviously - it had a plain fixed white one.

So, Claydoh (who couldn't get to this page because of... glitches was kind enough to send me some round icons via PM.
They're all well and good, except, no numbers.
Now, I may have dreamed about it. But I posted here about it just as the icon changed, - almost two years ago, so memory farts are unlikely.
But then, I also asked there - almost a year ago, and... well :-/
Now, have I dreamed it? Does anyone remember?

[EDIT] On a side note, I set plasmashell --replace (which updates Plasma settings on-the-fly) to Alt-F5 (which was free

I like the event calendar as well, but apparently it only works with Google? I use Kontact, and the fact that I apparently can not use it is something I find...odd. Unless I'm missing something.

From its description:

Plasmoid for a calendar+agenda with weather that syncs to Google Calendar.

However, if you install kdepim-addons, you can enable the PIM Events plugin, then from there you can go the newly enabled PIM Event section to choose your Korganizer (Kontact) calendar.

May need to make sure you have the latest version of the widget, not sure when this was added to this fairly young third party widget.

I am a minimalist of sorts. I can't stand having the systray become too wide or have big icons. I definitely can't stand single-row, full sized icons, which goes back at least to the KDE 3 days. So I have it semi-stock, with a few things set to "always hidden" so I only see them if I decide to. Bluetooth, networking, etc. The rest I leave to pop up as needed. I included the Event Calendar widget opened, which replaces the stock clock and calendar, so I can see the calendar, weather, and the timer (which I use daily) as needed. So what is on my screenshot is the normal, important stuff at the moment. I really should give my external drive a permanent mount point, so I can be rid of the always visible Removable Devices entry, until I am actually using it for USB sticks and such.

Great!
So when you're ctk, can you attach the circle svg/png/whatever?
