Adding icons to specific panels in Kubuntu 16.04

  • 772

When I right click on an application from the menu I see there is an option "add to Panel" however when I click that it goes to the main/default panel. I want to add icons to a different panel that I added.

I tried adding applications to the main panel and then dragging it to the panel I want it to be in but that didn't work. I tried adding to desktop and then dragging to the panel but that, too, didn't work.

  1. originally I used to edit the config file (.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc) while KDE was not running - so it doesn't overwrite my changes.

    Today I just tried moving an icon from the menu to any panel (while widgets unlocked) and it works (Kubuntu 16.04.3)!

    Though if you need to add a custom icon (e.g. shell script, or .jar, ...) or change the app icon then editing the config file is the only way I know right now.
