Can I create a QFrame inside a plasmoid then? Or should I always use Plasma Frame? Moreover, is there real difference to the developer which widget is being created, or is this just a matter of which API has been opened?
How about LinearLayout? According to http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/JavaScript/CheatSheet it constructs a QGraphicsLinearLayout, but is this really a Plasma item, too? > any suggestions for getting enums into the JS namsepace? > Not at present; I think that we will have to live with the stuff where we have made the binding. > yes, there isn't a nice debugging system yet.. > Qt Script comes with a nice debugger, so moving to that environment will introduce improved capabilities automatically.

Probably this is not a typical situation, but for me there has been a lot of problems with Qt widgets vs. Plasma widgets and things that are not available in the latter. But you are right, to someone who is new to the entire system things can be different. > also note that the simple applet JS bindings do not bind the entire API of > all > the classes offered, either. > I've noticed. What's the reason of offering these particular classes? Has there been a particular set of apps in mind? I've tried porting a number of Lively apps, and the ones that would fit the layouting idea run to a dead end since they would like to use the web, and the standalone apps on the other hand would need access to QColor, QPolygon (our first real demo, Asteroids) etc. tjm _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
