Hi here's my first mail notifier for mutt plasmoid

Code: Select all

require 'plasma_applet'

module RubyMuttNotifier
  class Main < PlasmaScripting::Applet

    def initialize parent
      super parent
    end
   
    slots :openBox
    slots :changeText
   
    def init
      @layout = Qt::GraphicsLinearLayout.new Qt::Vertical, self
      self.layout = @layout

      @label = Plasma::Label.new self
      @label.setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter)
      @label.setFont(Qt::Font.new('Arial', 12, Qt::Font::Normal))
      @label.text = 'No New Mail'
      @layout.add_item @label
     
      @box = Qt::FileInfo.new('/var/spool/mail/user');

      @mon = Qt::FileSystemWatcher.new()
      @mon.addPath(@box.absoluteFilePath())

      @button = Plasma::PushButton.new self
      @button.setFont(Qt::Font.new('Arial', 12, Qt::Font::Normal))
      @button.text = 'Open your inbox'
     
     
      @layout.add_item @button
     
Qt::Object.connect( @button, SIGNAL(:clicked), self, SLOT(:openBox) )
Qt::Object.connect(@mon,SIGNAL('fileChanged(QString)'),self,SLOT(:changeText))
    end


    def changeText()
     
      if @box.size > 0
   @label.setText('You got Mail!')
      else
   @label.setText('No New Mail')
      end
     
    end
   
    def openBox()
     
      trap("CLD") {
      pid = Process.wait
      @label.setText('No New Mail')
      exit
      }

      exec("/usr/bin/konsole -e /usr/bin/mutt") if fork.nil?
    end
   
  end
end




A part from the fact that sometimes it crashes...
what I don't know is how to set the geometry of my applet and in particular the size of the button.

I would recommend looking at the KDE documentation ( which can be viewed at http://api.mts.ms if http://api.kde.org is down )

You may also wish to ask on the Plasma development mailing list, plasma-devel@kde.org

Thanks but...
problem is that both links are down

A third mirror is also available at http://purinchu.net/kdelibs-apidocs/

Ok thanks I'll check it out
