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.analogclock

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

    [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 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

      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.
