<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I solved my problem by adding my own template-layout in
.local/share/plasma/layout-templates/.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help. About the syntax of
org.kde.plasma.desktop-layout.js if you can explain or give me
some documents I'll very appreciate.</p>
<p>I'm going to write a blog about this and hope to help further
migrators who wants to customize Plasma 5.</p>
<p>BTW, there are still some problems like plasmashell ignores
XDG_MENU_PREFIX and some XDG environment variables. I'll start
another topic for this.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>

Could you please tell me in more detail about "ship an applet config
initialization script in look-n-feel package"? In the package

<pre wrap="">documentation-wise i fear all there is is:

PlasmaDesktopScripting#Look_and_Feel_dependent_default_setup_for_applets
but says oretty much all there is to know
you would have in your look and feel a file called
contents/plasmoidsetupscripts/org.kde.plasma.kickoff.js
in that script you can access to a global variable called "applet"
to which you can access and write its configuration like the normal layout.js
script
, you would have something like:
applet.currentConfigGroup = ["General"]
applet.writeConfig("icon", <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="file:///usr/share/whatever/my/icon/path" moz-do-not-send="true">"file:///usr/share/whatever/my/icon/path"</a>)
applet.reloadConfig();

Thanks for your help, I've successfully customized kicker, kickoff
and kickerdash with look-n-feel packages. Also customized the
desktop successfully.<br>
<br>
Now I'm stuck at a few more questions, which I've googled but
couldn't find the answers:<br>
1. In the
look-and-feel/org.kde.ezgo.desktop/contents/layouts/org.kde.plasma.desktop-layout.js
the contents include:<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">var plasma =
getApiVersion(1);<br>
var layout = {<br>
"desktops": [<br>
{ "applets" : [ ], "config" : [ ... ] }<br>
]<br>
"panels": [<br>
{ "applets" : [...], "config": { ... } ... }<br>
]<br>
}</font><br>
<br>
where do "desktops" and "panels" define? or are they just
keywords for org.kde.plasma.desktop? I searched
shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop but got nothing. By customizing
this file I've successfully done what I want. I just don't quite
understand the syntax in this file, and in the "layout".<br>
<br>
2. Now I want to modify the contents of the defaultPanel (without
changing the
layout-templates/org.kde.plasma.desktop.defaultPanel/contents/layout.js),
adding some widgets before the task manager. I tried several
ways:<br>
-
look-and-feel/org.kde.ezgo.desktop/contents/layouts/org.kde.plasma.desktop.defaultPanel-layout.js<br>
- plasmoidsetupscripts/org.kde.panel.js<br>
<br>
without success. In the org.kde.panel.js I just added
something like<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">applet.addWidget("org.kde.plasma.showActivityManager")<br>
applet.reloadConfig()<br>
</font><br>
When I tried to add a default panel it still showed "default"
-- without activity manager widget on it. It seems like not to
create a org.kde.panel plasmoid (which should run the setup
scripts).<br>
<br>
And in the defaultPanel-layout.js I used the same way as above
but no luck too. I wonder if the syntax in defaultPanel-layout.js
should be like desktop-layout.js, but I don't know if there is any
keywords or syntax for defaultPanel.<br>
<br>
Any help is very appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Franklin<br>
