Hi

I would like to add a line space before & after each main menu category on the left side column. Which QML file can I edit to add spacing for these??

e.g. from this:

Python 3.10
QT Creator
Kate
INTERNET APPS
Firefox
Filezilla

to

Python 3.10
QT Creator
Kate

INTERNET APPS

Firefox
Filezilla

Note the spacing before/after INTERNET APPS

Thank you

Ah the section headers.

• https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-tiledmenu/blob/master/package/contents/ui/KickerSectionHeader.qml
• https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-tiledmenu/blob/master/package/contents/ui/KickerListView.qml

In the MouseArea's implicitHeight: listView.iconSize, try adding + PlasmaCore.Units.largeSpacing * 2. The Text/Label is already vertically centered.

Hi

Tnx much for responding. I added the following below as you suggested. It didn't seem to do anything however I did not log out and back in again - perhaps the issue - Also...I didn't see any reference to see adding that to the one file ....perhaps u posted that just FYI type deal.

MouseArea {
id: sectionDelegate

width: ListView.view.width
// height: childrenRect.height
implicitHeight: listView.iconSize

// Adjust line spacing before/after category entries                          <----------------  added note
PlasmaCore.Units.largeSpacing * 2                                                 <---------------- added command

property bool enableJumpToSection: false

I meant:

// implicitHeight: listView.iconSize
implicitHeight: listView.iconSize + PlasmaCore.Units.largeSpacing * 2
// implicitHeight: listView.iconSize + PlasmaCore.Units.smallSpacing * 2
// implicitHeight: listView.iconSize + 10 * PlasmaCore.Units.devicePixelRatio * 2

devicePixelRatio will scale 10 by the screen's DPI. We want padding above and below so we multiply our number by 2. largeSpacing and smallSpacing are preset values used in Plasma and already scaled by DPI.
