Bug ID: 388995
Summary: Plasma::Types::FormFactor or Plasma::Types::Location
miss SystemTray variant
Product: frameworks-plasma
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: libplasma
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: kosse...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
An applet shown in a system tray has to deal with the special requirement of
needing to be square in that container, it seems. To allow the applet to do
that, it has to be able to know about its situation.
But there seems no official way to query if an applet is placed in the system
tray. While "AppletInterface" has properties "formFactor" or "location", none
of the values of the returned types give a notion about the system tray.
Perhaps the enum "Plasma::Types::FormFactor" could be extended with a new value
"Square", matching "Horizontal" and "Vertical". So other applet containers
which have that special requirement by design can reuse that as well (IIRC
macOS docker-style panels might want that with applets, too).
Workaround for now:
One can peek into the containing structure and do a guess from the data seen
there:
```
inTray = (plasmoid.parent !== null && (plasmoid.parent.pluginName ===
'org.kde.plasma.private.systemtray' || plasmoid.parent.objectName ===
'taskItemContainer'))
```
