Tiled Menu stopped working under Plasma 6

[rebio]

summary
After the update to Plasma 6.0 the Tiled Menu does no longer work. If you want to open it, you get an error message instead.

Here is the official porting guide from plasma:

Porting looks quite complex for KDE Plasma novices like myself. I really liked the fact that GMail appeared in the Tiled Area. I don't use it that much - just to keep it alive! (Gmail that is!) Currently using neonuser, base install was the 20231019 iso when Plasma was at 5.27.

It'll be a few days as I try to make a functional version to release. The first release will probably disable a bunch of the theming and focus on just getting it working.

• KF6 / Plasma 6.0 removes PlasmaComponent 2.0 and PlasmaExtras #142
• WIP History: master...plasma6
• WIP Branch: https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-tiledmenu/tree/plasma6

My custom FlatButton need to support hiding the labels.

The QtGraphicalEffects has become deprecated in Qt6 so my RadialGradient + OpacityMask trick to make a similar Win10 hover effect might break in the far future. I may need to look into creating a custom shader in the long term.

Thanks for the update, looking forward to it!

Looking forward to this working again.

I support you, I'm really looking forward to it!

Looking forward! I'm currently exploring replacing Windows with Kubuntu/openSUSE and am very grateful for Tiled Menu. It's a huge productivity booster because it allows me to continue the muscle memory formed over nearly a decade :)

I've uploaded a WIP version of TiledMenu v46 for Plasma 6. There's a few bugs I need to work on but it's functional enough for now. I was mainly worried about the search + ability to logout which broke pretty bad after porting stuff. Not sure why my "Tiles Only" code broke so bad.

Plasma 6 WIP:

• Right Clicking Search Results will crash Plasma
• Resizing the Popup no longer snaps to the width of a tile
• Drag and Drop is disabled
• App List Transitions/Animations need to be re-implemented
• There's some bugs with Tiles Only mode and Search
• Sidebar Buttons don't use the hover outline effect
• Cannot customize panel icon

2f43465 A few issues I'm having on Plasma 6 X11 if it helps:

• Can no longer resize to full screen (size) at least at 1440p. It's like 10 pixels from the top but like 70 from the right. It covered the entire screen on Plasma 5
• Not sure if it's display scaling 125% but after updating to Plasma 6 it's like the icons are way bigger and I can only see like 1/3 of the menu layout I used to run. Like it's "zoomed in"
