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...

spector ,

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.


<span style="color:#323232;">[Containments][53][Applets][186]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">immutability=1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">plugin=org.kde.plasma.analogclock
</span>

It is applet 186. Search the string Applet-186 for a section that has entries containing ItemGeometries.


<span style="color:#323232;">[Containments][53]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ItemGeometries-0x0=Applet-112:1712,48,144,256,0;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ItemGeometries-1280x720=
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ItemGeometries-1920x1080=Applet-186:1504,96,304,304,231;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ItemGeometries-1920x1200=
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ItemGeometries-3840x2160=
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ItemGeometriesHorizontal=Applet-186:1504,96,304,304,231;
</span>

The ItemGeometries are the layout of the widget on the desktop. I believe the last five semicolon separated numbers are:

  • x position
  • y position
  • width
  • height
  • rotation in degrees
  • All
