[SOLVED] remove huge icon from plasma-applet-nm (KDE)

Hi all,

after the upgrade to Mageia 4 there was a huge icon in the control panel from network management plasmoid (plasma-applet-nm which is a frontend for networkmanager).
It looked like this:

It could not be removed via the control panel settings. So I had to edit the config file, after makin a backup of it:

Code: Select all
[doktor5000@Mageia4 ~]$ cp ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc.old


And then remove the plasmoid from ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc by removing the complete plasmoid section.
The bold numbers show the applet ID, which will differ on your installation. [Containments][1] is the desktop itself,
so also look out for that if you have multiple workspaces or use activities or so on.

[Containments][1][Applets][92]
geometry=886,2,256,25
immutability=1
plugin=org.kde.networkmanagement
zvalue=66

[Containments][1][Applets][92][Configuration]
Share=false

[Containments][1][Applets][92][LayoutInformation]
Order=11

[Containments][1][Applets][92][PopupApplet]
DialogHeight=339
DialogWidth=930


After removing it from the config file, either login/logout to reload plasma settings or for the impatient ones, do it this way:
Code: Select all
kquitapp plasma-desktop; sleep 5; plasma-desktop &

Cause for this could also be the default panel icon size of 256, as found out by yankee495 in viewtopic.php?p=44276#p44276

To change this, go to System Settings > Application Appearance > Icons > Advanced > Panel and then logout/login.
