[Feature Request] While I haven´t found a "launcher" menu that lists the running applications I rely on this plasmoid to make a taskbar-ish panel temporary available. Now, I suspected setting the width or height of the panel to "-1" was something that might break in the future and it seems we have arrived in that future with the latest plasma release (5.27.1). I see a few options here: (1) Resort to a different plasmoid doing the same but still working in 5.27.1 (2) Accept my loss, say goodbye to KDE and move to GNOME (since I am effectively trying build the GNOME Workflow in Plasma) (3) Clone intika's KDE toggle panel button repo and figure out if the -1 factoring is indeed the problem and if so, figure out how to replace it by something that is less bound to break in the future, and request a pull.
@(3): would this post present an alternative approach: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/w0a934/is_there_a_way_to_programmatically_toggle_panel/
[BUG]: Button action can neither restore nor force the panel height any more. (This happens at least since KDE Plama Version 5.27.1)
8 Good addon except if i add widget to panel and clicked hide, there should be a warning to add it only to desktop
is it possible when the panel is set to 'windows always under', when I activate this widget, not to make every widget on the desktop move right and left, because of the appearing / disappearing of the panel? if I set the panel in autohide this don't happen, nut I need it to be always shown/always hidden
10 Awesome work! The only problem that it hasn't get updated for a while and I just recently upgrade my distro that brought me the plasma 5.20.4 and it wont work out of the box anymore. For me, the problem was solved by modifying the Main.qml file under ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.intika.kdetogglepanel/contents/ui/ For some reason, it seems you need to replace all qdbus to qdbus-qt5 . Next time I logged in it worked once again.

10 awesome functionality that should be included in plasma
It's awesome when it works. I have 4 monitors, and it only appears to work for one of them. The others? The bar is unhidden a split-second after it was hidden! Do you have any suggestions? KUbuntu 18.10, up to date with the lastest apt-get update and upgrade
