The easiest (and I think also recommended) way is kdesrc-build. I'm guessing there is no guide anymore to setup KDE from git under a separate user like there was with svn? If that's the case than i might as well document my steps and make the guide ^_^ @Viranch Mehta Well, I'm not sure if it is possible to just change a part of the panel (the tool box). You'd need to re-do the panel in qml, afaik. But again, not sure. erm... I'm fine with that as well, but i have no clue how i can hook those plasmoids things inside a qml panel.. Like for example the tasklist, system tray and clock. I'm guessing that makes it way more complicated. ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
