Hello everyone,
I have some questions concerning plasma panels and I hope you could
help. A small brief, I implemented the Now Dock plasmoid which can be
found in kdelook. There is a discussion that this should be a panel of
its one. In other words not (in panel) but a panel. I changed the
metadata.desktop file accordingly and now the new panel is shown. I add
it in my environment and I can see a panel which contains the visual of
my plasmoid. But to move on I need some important steps to go from there.
1. This panel should be able to set its size(width and height) according
to the visual which is shown. I tried,
Layout.*widths and Layout.*heights to set them in a fixed size but
nothing happened.
Is it possible to do that? to set the panels size with enforcement?
2. The panel which was created is the default empty panel which is used
in Plasma. When I right click my visual to go to old configuration
dialog of the plasmoid instead of the configuration window, the panel's
settings are appearing next to the panel (Add widgets, set size, etc)...
is it possible to override this? or open the old configuration dialog?
3. Is it possible to tell the panel to not draw its background, as the
plasmoids can do? in order to support transparency? but keep the
plasma's theme untouched?
Thank you very much!
with regards,
michail
