Hi Kevin,
I want to add a menu item to the plasma panel (the panel formerly known as kicker) not to the Fedora-Menu (the F in the left corner).
I want an item on my panel/task manager at the bottom of the screen that when clicked will bring up a menu.
Is this do-able ?
Yes, of course, even if it might be tricky to be found. First ensure that the desktop is unlocked, so you are able to add new plasmoids. Then start the kickoff menu and right click on the item, you want to add to the panel. You should the right item in the context menu (not sure what's actually called in the english version, but you ll find ;-)). The item in the contextmenu won't show up, if the plasma is locked, so some people don't find this feature.
Best regards, Florian
Still no joy.
I did this: 1) unlocked desktop widgets 2) opened the kickoff menu menu --> office
3) on this menu "screen" I see the openoffice menu. I want to add this entire menu to the plasma panel (not the kickoff menu) but if I right click on it It just opens the item and shows me the openoffice items writer, spreadsheet, etc just like it would had I did a left click on it.
Thoughts ?
