I would have to see the sources. I find most people's code (including my own more than sometimes) incomprehensible after a while. Documentation, documentation, documentation. I saw come limited docs about porting, dcop, etc. Not enough. I have seen no documentation of value for plasma beyond the nice skeleton that got me started doing a plasmoid (no, not so hard), and applet.h. The oxygen-generated docs on line are not the greatest and I have seen nothing about the data-engines, i.e. to incorporated kdepim stuff into my phone applet. Knemo and ksensors will obviously use the data- engines. Standards? I used qt4/kde4 widgets and kicons to KDE styles in my applet. Plasma has its own themes (but one would need to create icons) and its own widgets as well. Must use/should use/there if needed? I am available to an extent but it depends upon how tangled this can get. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
