How do you change the rotation of a widget precisely?
I'm a newbie and am using kubuntu. I've installed a widget called plasma fancy clock. I rotated the widget on the screen to fit with the wallpaper (brick lines of a tilted wall) but realized that the angle I wanted was between non-rotated and the smallest angle I could rotate. Could someone please give me some advice? Maybe a certain file that I can input the accurate angle into (have been searching but can't find anywhere)?
The config file in
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.Search for the widget name. I will use
org.kde.plasma.analogclock.On my system this widget has a config section.
[Containments][53][Applets][186] immutability=1 plugin=org.kde.plasma.analogclockIt is applet 186. Search the string
Applet-186for a section that has entries containingItemGeometries.[Containments][53] ItemGeometries-0x0=Applet-112:1712,48,144,256,0; ItemGeometries-1280x720= ItemGeometries-1920x1080=Applet-186:1504,96,304,304,231; ItemGeometries-1920x1200= ItemGeometries-3840x2160= ItemGeometriesHorizontal=Applet-186:1504,96,304,304,231;The
ItemGeometriesare the layout of the widget on the desktop. I believe the last five semicolon separated numbers are:Wow, thanks, I checked and the last number does change when I rotate it with my mouse. But now how can I apply it? I tried changing the number and saving the file but it doesn't work like that.
