A KDE Plasma Applet for use as a desktop/workspace pager. This project is an evolution of GINTI and Desktop Indicator, and further development will be handled here. Built with extendability in mind. Currently difficult to manage anchoring and positioning. Could be eliminated by a common component, but requires a lot of testing.

• Finalize support for vertical panels (Might take some time).
• Add representations with "just arrows" (Almost done).
• Add customization options for highlighting systems (Almost done).
• Add representations with disappearing items for desktops with no windows (One-liner, should be easy to add).

Look at the .qml files inside contents/ui/highlights/.

It should be self explanatory, the op property is manipulated inside the component by a loader to give different styles of highlighting.

To test it, add the path to contents/ui/Common/HighlightLoader.qml file(should also be self-explanatory).

These are stored inside contents/ui/representations/. To test yours, add the path to the switch statement inside contents/ui/main.qml.

• Each indicator is placed at the beginning of the applet. So you need to manipulate the position of each one by using x and y properties.
• The parent element has no way of knowing the length of the content you are placing in there, since it is dynamically choosing from representations.
  • There is a len property inside main.qml for you to keep track of. Add or subtract from it to grow or shrink the size of the parent element, or your representation will overflow/underflow
  • The best way to do this is by adding Component.onCompleted and Component.onDestruction signals to keep track of that for you.
  • If your representation is resizable, it is recommended to add onWidthChanged and onHeightChanged signals to keep track of the changing size.

These will only be added after careful consideration and should not directly be added by the contributor. If you are opening a pull request for a new indicator or highlight style, hard-code the values temporarily.

cd into the cloned directory and run sh install.sh. Or install from the Get new widget functionality in KDE Plasma.
