E.g. - "Desktop toolbox default position is on the left and intersects icons. Moving it to the right would make more sense" (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/7vpwb5/plasma_512_bug_thread/dtvyz81/) "Specifically, the widget button on the left side sits too close to the desktop icons. A placement on the right side would make more sense" (http://www.ocsmag.com/2018/01/27/plasma-5-12-long-term-sweetness/) We should consider moving the Desktop Toolbox to the top-right corner by default to alleviate this visual papercut. 1728433 1 medzernik1 2018-02-07 20:20:30 +0000 Can confirm. Steps to reproduce: Boot a NEON live image. Check the positioning of the desktop icons and the toolbox. 1728435 2 kde 2018-02-07 20:36:59 +0000 It is actually supposed to be but is broken. The positioning logic is quite delicate. I'll have a look again. 1730737 3 nate 2018-02-15 17:28:29 +0000 Sources seem to say that it wants to be on the top left: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-desktop.git/tree/containments/desktop/package/contents/config/main.xml?h=Plasma/5.12#n21 Can we change that? 1730738 4 rikmills 2018-02-15 17:29:25 +0000 Default is topleft: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-desktop.git/tree/containments/desktop/package/contents/config/main.xml?h=Plasma/5.12#n23 <entry name="ToolBoxButtonState" type="String"> <label>Position state of the toolbox button.</label> <default>topleft</default> I patched that in Kubuntu to make a permanent change to the right. 1730810 5 kde 2018-02-15 22:16:28 +0000 https://phabricator.kde.org/D10563 1733141 6 kde 2018-02-23 10:38:05 +0000 Git commit b2588104cc562a0500b32c186aa11a6b8affddc4 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 23/02/2018 at 10:37. Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. Place toolbox in the top right corner of the screen This moves it out of the way of desktop icons and is also what Plasma 4 did. The code is adjusted to mirror the position for right-to-left languages.
