Just might complicate the implementation a good bit. Maybe it would, anyhow, the absolute best option in my opinion is being able to manually rearrange the order and have the list be a way to sort the icons *exclusively* in the entries list, I am genuinely completely confounded as to why how it works now is even how it works? Like, maybe most people don't have an opinion on it whatsoever, but I do personally think it would be an almost objective improvement to be able to manually order the icons. I have no idea how complicated icons you could drag would actually be, but even just having the ability to change the order of the icons at all would be nice. As far as I have seen for years, is that the answer is that you can't change the order unless you change the names of the items and put them into different groups, and I have no idea how somebody would even change this behavior. The documentation regarding the system tray could maybe be more in depth or something, I don't really know. I know that you can change where the expander arrow is by modifying the main.qml file and literally just moving it to load before the rest of the icons, but I don't know how one would link this to a config, or make it able to be modified without restarting the plasmashell. Currently I do this every update because I like the arrow on the left rather than the right (it makes it like a mini version of the menu and taskbar arrangement). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
