A simple way to test Plasma themes
Some time ago when testing the code that draws the svg themes in Plasma (like applet backgrounds, panels and tooltips) i wrote a very simple plasmoid that its sole purpose was to test that code, its very uninspiring name was SvgPanelTest, because surprise surprise it was a test for the class named SvgPanel:P
It turns out this applet can be actually useful also for theme designers that wants to test the themes they're doing without killing plasma all the times.
On device notifier again
Another post on devicenotifier :), so let me introduce his shiny new look:
The code derives directly from the kickoff delegate (with some fixes to RTL layouts), but the interesting part is that it has been pushed in libplasma, so all listviews in plasma that works like a menu can use it and have a consistent look (At the moment kickoff is still independent but i will port it shortly)
ways to unmount things
In the planet posts i'll mostly blog about the little things i do for Plasma, hopefully with screenshots when possible :)
At the moment i'm playing around the device notifier to make it more appealing and most important more intuitive. One problem was that there was not an intuitive way to unmount removable discs/eject cds, the dolphin rmb menu is well, a right mouse button menu and the drag and drop to trash is funny but i admit it a little bit silly :D.
Another exam
Crisp Plasma dialogs borders
Since yesterday The border of plasma dialogs like the clock popups have got rounded borders also when the composite is disabled, just like tooltips before,ok not a big deal.
But what is changed is that before tooltips shape was an hardcoded rounded rectangle with a fixed shape and an also hardcoded white border and that kinda sucked...
Hello Planet!
Hello world planet!
First of all thanks Clee for adding me so fast! For those who don't know me (well, the mayority of you i suppose) i am sometimes a programmer of some kde-related things.
At the moment i am doing some work with Plasma (yes, i'm the one of the infamous click, drag... eject:P)
, so let me introduce his shiny new look:<br />
