Hello, I've read by chance that you are planning to develop a dock, in a similar way to the MacOSX one, using the Plasma. As you may know, there is already a dock that is independant from the environnement and supports the Opengl; it's Cairo-Dock2 (also known as glx-dock). It is written with GTK inside, but this one is mainly used for the main loop and to build the menus. except for that, it only has usual dependancies : cairo, glx, dbus and libxml, and runs smoothly on a KDE desktop. It is independant from the desktop because the integration with the desktop is provided by external plug-ins : there is one for Gnome and another for XFCE, the one for KDE is still missing though. So my proposal is : what about making a Kairo-Dock ? It could be either a port of gtk towards qt, or the writing of a kde-integration plug-in. If you want to knwo more about Cairo-Dock, you can see for instance some screenshots here : http://www.cairo-dock.org/mc_album.php?a=3 and find some videos on youtube, or even install the deb packages here : http://www.cairo-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=From%20the%20repository&lang=en
Thanks for reading.
