| == Guidelines ==
| | Moved to [[Plasma/PlasmoidGuidelines]] |
| The Plasma widgets should follow some simple guidelines in both style and code to be included in the official widget set for the KDE Plasma workspaces.
| |
| | |
| === Graphics style ===
| |
| * Applets should use the Plasma::Applet default background
| |
| * Only widgets of the libplasma widget set should be used
| |
| * If custom widgets are created, they should be styled with svgs from the Plasma theme, using Plasma::Svg and Plasma::FrameSvg
| |
| * All text should always be painted using the colors from Plasma::Theme
| |
| | |
| === Behavioural conventions ===
| |
| * Applets should always work in any form factor, Planar, Horizontal and Vertical
| |
| * Applets should be tested on all Containments provided in the standard distribution: Desktop, Panel, Newspaper, Search and launch, and Grouping Desktop
| |
| * If an applet should look like an icon when it is in a panel (or if it should have a popup anyways) it should inherit Plasma::PopupApplet
| |
| * Applets should do just strictly "visualization" related tasks, as much of the work as possible should be done with implementations of Plasma::DataEngine (data fetcing) and Plasma::Service (data writing)
| |
| | |
| === Coding conventions ===
