Hi, The new desktop containment is coming along nicely. After the first round of feedback (thanks for that, btw, for reference, it's the thread with subject "[RFC] New (QML) Desktop Containment").
In this iteration, the design is much closer to the current containment. The handle has been revamped and is now integrated into the frame, and a bunch of missing features has been added (rotation, for example), others brought in line with the goals of this piece of software. A movie says more than thousand words, so please watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR5UZUtcOGc The changes from the current (non-QML) containment are, roughly: - all done in QML ;) - handle has moved inside the appletframe - applets align to an invisible grid The new containnment has a (temporary, it's really only for testing and will be removed before release) tuning screen which allows to play around with a bunch of values (enable visual debugging aids to show interesting areas, change icon size, animation duration and opacity of the halo). This helps us to fine-tune a couple of variables in the current layout. The containment still has a few bugs, but it's pretty functional and feels quite solid already. Bugs are: - sizing issues, applets don't get properly laid out inside the frame - rotation is hard to control, rotation is very skippy toolbox: - add panel doesn't work, missing available plugin reading machinery (works fine from the context menu) - Containment settings in context menu is grayed out (works fine from toolbox) The latest state can be found in kde-workspace, in my branch called plasma/sebas/desktop-qml. This will install two additional Plasma packages, one for the toolbox, one for the containment. Please give it a try and report your findings.
