More plasmoid info

Tue Mar 24, 2009 11:24 am
I've jut read another idea which was solved by pastebin plasmoid. ut until now I had no idea what an pastebin plasmoid does.
So I would wish a bit more info about a plasmoid so that I know whether I need it or not.
That could be solved by adding I icon which would show longer description of it.

I would make an mock-up but my Kolourpait dosen't work. Tux paint is not what I hoped it would be :D and InkScape is a bit hard to make a simple mock-up.

This is one of ideas for Google's Summer of Code:
Project: New Widget Explorer

Brief explanation: A new widget explorer that supports both our own widgets as well as others more seamlessly.

Expected results: A usable and pretty browser for widgets that allows a user to see an icon or snapshot of the widget, select a widget to be placed in a containment, search for a widget based on name/description, sort the widgets into categories, rate widgets and provide ways to launch the online browsers and installers for both native Plasmoids as well as third party tools such as Google Gadgets (which is already supported in the Package class). All the required support functionality already exists, this project is really about creating a beautiful and dynamic user interface for looking through a widget catalog that looks "Plasma".

Knowledge prerequisite: Knowledge of C++.

Mentor: Plasma team. Contact at plasma-devel@kde.org or #plasma on freenode.

hope it gets picked!
