Here’s my KDE Plasma info:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
And here’s my problem:
Issue: Application menu pops up somewhat away from application menu
Observed result: Application menu pops up somewhat away from application menu icon when I’m using materia-dark global theme with materia-dark window decorations. The distance is shown using a green line, which is absent in the 2nd pic.
Expected result: However, it pops just under the icon when I’m using materia-dark global theme with lightly window decorations. I want that to happen in materia-dark aurorae theme too.
What I’ve tried: Searching the internet gave me things like aurorae themes and kde plasma global menu, which do not solve my problem.
I hope my question is clear, English is not my 1st language. Thanks in advance.
