Mageia forum

Mageia 3 clean install Kde w/Kwin desktop
I cannot drag and drop icons around the screen or from the desktop to Docky

Searched all drop down panels they do not reveal a way to unlock icons
I have found that by right click on icon opens submenu
From there I can use alt and click/hold submenu and move icons
Is this the normal procedure for Kde to drag and drop icons

Hi

I think it depends on the desktop setting.
If you have the desktop setting out of the box [ folder view , has 3 icons " home, join Mageia, trash "down left side of desktop ] its a multi-step process as you have found.
If you change the desktop setting to "default " you can just left mouse click the icon and drag it around to wherever you want

Cheers

Hello, did that work for you?

Well I did get something working that I wanted
I setup a new panel and added launchers from the main menu to it

I cannot move them to a new position on the new panel without removing them and starting over adding them in the sequence I want
No big deal to redo them only thought I should be able to move as wanted

Thanks for the help

Well, click on the cashew at the right edge of the panel, and then just move them around. Does that work?

Thats what I was forgetting

Thanks for the help
