Hello all, First, some introductions as I am new to the plasma-devel list. My name is Alain and I've been a long time KDE user. Recently, I've found some time to do some KDE hacking and was attracted to plasma. I've been following plasma quite closely on the web, in the blog sphere and on this mailing list.
This led me to take a look at the tasks data engine and applet. I was surprised to see that they don't talk to each other. My first task (no pun intended) was to extend the data engine. My goal is to completely encapsulate the taskmanager library within the tasks data engine. My theory is that this would simplify the existing tasks applet and allow the creation of other task-like applets without re-writing code. I have some code that adds a custom task DataContainer and Service. This allows you to interact (maximize, minimize...) with windows using a service. It works, but it seems like a lot of overhead to simply minimize a window... I'm now re-thinking the usefulness/feasibility/elegance of this "use a service to interact with windows" design. Any comments or suggestions? Alain. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
