Applet

Contstructors

Probably not all of them are still required:

• explicit Applet(QObject *parent = 0, const QString &serviceId = QString(), uint appletId = 0);
• explicit Applet(const KPluginInfo &info, QObject *parent = 0, uint appletId = 0);
• explicit Applet(QObject *parent, const QString &serviceId, uint appletId, const QVariantList &args);
• protected Applet(QObject *parent, const QVariantList &args);
• private Applet(const QString &packagePath, uint appletId, const QVariantList &args);

Methods

To be removed

Those two in some qml binding:

• QPoint popupPosition(const QSize &s) const;
• QPoint popupPosition(const QSize &s, Qt::AlignmentFlag alignment) const;

Needs to see what constraints are still valid and what not (probably just sizeconstraint invalid now)

• void updateConstraints(Plasma::Constraints constraints = Plasma::AllConstraints);

Completely obsolete:

• QFont font() const;
• bool shouldConserveResources() const;
• void showMessage(const QIcon &icon, const QString &message, const Plasma::MessageButtons buttons); (messagebox qml components)

Are those still applicable?

• bool destroyed() const;
• bool hasAuthorization(const QString &constraint) const;

In PluginLoader?

• static KPluginInfo::List listAppletInfo(const QString &category = QString(), const QString &parentApp = QString());

• static KPluginInfo::List listAppletInfoForMimeType(const QString &mimetype);

• static KPluginInfo::List listAppletInfoForUrl(const QUrl &url);

• static QStringList listCategories(const QString &parentApp = QString(), bool visibleOnly = true);

• void setCustomCategories(const QStringList &categories);

• QStringList customCategories();

• static Applet *loadPlasmoid(const QString &path, uint appletId = 0, const QVariantList &args = QVariantList());

• static QString category(const KPluginInfo &applet);

• static QString category(const QString &appletName);

Signals

• void releaseVisualFocus();
• void appletTransformedByUser();
• void appletTransformedItself();
• void messageButtonPressed(const Plasma::MessageButton button);

Slots

• void destroy();
• virtual void showConfigurationInterface();
• void showConfigurationInterface(QWidget *widget); probably still valid, but not qwidget based
• bool hasFocus() const;
• void setFocus(Qt::FocusReason);
