name: plasma6-panel-config description: Configure KDE Plasma 6 panels, widgets, digital clock fonts, and Panel Colorizer styling. Use when modifying panel appearance, copying panel configs between monitors, fixing widget fonts, or troubleshooting Panel Colorizer not applying styles.
Plasma 6 Panel Configuration
Purpose: Modify Plasma panel/widget configs without trial-and-error pain. When to use: Panel styling, clock fonts, colorizer issues, multi-monitor panel sync.
Critical: Edit Workflow
Plasmashell overwrites config on exit. Always:
pkill plasmashell
# make edits to config file
nohup plasmashell &>/dev/null &
Config File
Location: ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
Format: INI-style with nested sections. File is ~66K tokens - use grep/offset reads.
Structure:
[Containments][PANEL_ID]
lastScreen=SCREEN_NUMBER
plugin=org.kde.panel
[Containments][PANEL_ID][Applets][WIDGET_ID]
plugin=org.kde.plasma.digitalclock
[Containments][PANEL_ID][Applets][WIDGET_ID][Configuration][Appearance]

Finding Things
| Find | Grep Pattern |
|---|---|
| All panels | plugin=org.kde.panel |
| Digital clocks | plugin=org.kde.plasma.digitalclock |
| Panel Colorizer | plugin=luisbocanegra.panel.colorizer |
| Screen mapping | lastScreen= |
| Appearance sections | \[Configuration\]\[Appearance\] |
Digital Clock Font Settings
Under [Containments][PANEL][Applets][CLOCK][Configuration][Appearance]:
| Setting | Required Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
autoFontAndSize | false | CRITICAL - must be false or font settings ignored |
fontFamily | e.g. Hack Nerd Font | Font name exactly as system knows it |
fontSize | e.g. 9 | Integer |
boldText | true or false | |
fontStyleName | e.g. Bold | |
fontWeight | e.g. 700 | 400=normal, 700=bold |
BAD: Adding font settings without autoFontAndSize=false
fontFamily=Hack Nerd Font
fontSize=9
Result: Settings silently ignored, uses system default.
GOOD: Include the disable flag
autoFontAndSize=false
fontFamily=Hack Nerd Font
fontSize=9
fontStyleName=Bold
fontWeight=700
boldText=true
Panel Colorizer
Preset Location
~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/luisbocanegra.panel.colorizer/contents/ui/presets/
Config Location
Under [Containments][PANEL][Applets][COLORIZER][Configuration][General]:
globalSettings={"panel":{"normal":{"enabled":true,...huge JSON...}}}
lastPreset=/path/to/preset
The JSON Blob
globalSettings is a single-line JSON blob (thousands of chars). Key paths:
| JSON Path | Purpose | Required for Styling |
|---|---|---|
panel.normal.enabled | Master enable | Must be true |
panel.normal.backgroundColor.enabled | Enable bg color | Yes for custom bg |
panel.normal.backgroundColor.custom | Hex color | e.g. #000000 |
panel.normal.backgroundColor.sourceType | Color source | 0 = use custom |
widgets.normal.foregroundColor.enabled | Enable text color | Yes for custom text |
widgets.normal.foregroundColor.custom | Hex color | e.g. #FFFFFF |
BAD: Panel colorizer not styling
"panel":{"normal":{"enabled":false,...
Result: All styling silently disabled.
GOOD: Enable the panel styling
"panel":{"normal":{"enabled":true,...
Copying Colorizer Between Panels
- Find source panel's colorizer widget ID
- Copy entire
globalSettings=line to target - Copy
lastPreset=line if using presets
Randy's Current Panel Mapping
| Panel ID | Screen | Monitor | Clock Widget | Colorizer Widget |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 209 | 2 | HP | 309 | 323 |
| 273 | 0 | LG | 276 | 321 |
| 291 | 1 | ASUS | 326 | 345 |
Note: Widget IDs are arbitrary. Always grep for plugin names to find current IDs.
Common Gotchas
| Issue | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Edits not persisting | Plasmashell overwrote on restart | Kill plasmashell BEFORE editing |
| Font settings ignored | Missing autoFontAndSize=false | Add the flag |
| Colorizer does nothing | panel.normal.enabled: false in JSON | Set to true |
| Wrong panel modified | Screen numbers changed | Verify lastScreen values |
| Can't find widget | Grepping wrong plugin name | Use exact plugin string |
