Desktop Containment
The Desktop containment lays out widgets which have been put "on the desktop".
Goal
Provide an easy way to lay out widgets on the desktop in a visually appearing way.
Related Epics
- Look and Feel Package: Little overlap
- Desktop elegance: Blends seamlessly into desktop
- Session management process: lifetime managed by plasma shell and activity manager
Integration Story
Shipped from kde-workspace as pure QML plasmoid. Is defined as default in the desktop shell QML package.
Porting status
Works, minus some interaction problems.
Roadmap
- Q1: fix interaction problems in applet handle

- Desktop elegance: Delegate styling and the appearance of things like the rubberband selection rectangle has to be theme-/style-aware.
- Session management process: n/a
Integration Story
Standalone Plasma package with C++ support plugin. C++ backend depends on various Frameworks (kio, libkonq).
Porting status
Currently prototyping an icon view that meets the outlined capability requirements.

Goal
Initially, a regression-free experience vs. Plasma 1, across porting the lib away from deprecated Qt and KDE Frameworks APIs. Longer-term, Wayland support by coordinating with KWin as the session compositor.
Related Epics
- Look and Feel Package: n/a
- Desktop elegance: Text label appearance could use more theme-integration.
- Session management process: ...
Integration Story
Tightly coupled with KWindowSystem, KWin and KActivities. KWindowSystem needs porting to XCB to obsolete hacky workarounds against Qt 5's Xlib performance. On Wayland, KWin needs to supply window data to the lib.
Porting status
Working, but code needs porting cleanups (e.g. KUrl -> QUrl). Wayland support has not been started.
Roadmap
Keep it working on X11, clean it up - sit down with KWin re Wayland when KWin gets there.

notifications and statusnotifiers a.k.a. system tray
Goal
Provide a way for applications and service to show their status in the workspace UI.
Related Aspects
- Look and Feel Package: Possibly, interaction concept is in the L&F package
- Desktop elegance: Seamless
- Session management process: lifetime managed inside plasma-shell
Integration Story
The systemtray Plasmoid is the view that is visible from the workspace UI. It can embed Plasmoids, show statusnotifieritem protocol registrants, possibly fdo systemtray x11embed-based items. libdbusmenu-qt is used
Porting status
- libdbusmenu-qt works (builds on both, qt4 and 5)
- Plasmoid embedding works
- General layouting in progress
- statusnotifieritems only displayed, no interaction
- x11embed postponed for now
