mkdir /tmp/nowardev ; cd /tmp/nowardev ; wget https://github.com/nowardev/kde-peace-settings/raw/master/plasmoid/plasma-applet-nowardev-button_0.0.2.tar.gz ; tar xzf plasma-applet-nowardev-button_0.0.2.tar.gz ; ./installscript
now if you prefer manual installation just untar and then for each folder do that :
mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake .. ; make ; sudo make install ; kbuildsycoca5
now add widget in the panel IN THE PANEL !! and search for NOWARDEV it should appear
SETTING KWIN PROPERLY
if you want borderless windows you can set it in this way :
kate ~/.config/kwinrc
under [Window] you should put
BorderlessMaximizedWindows=true
after that ,
kwin_x11 --replace
and you should get the thing enjoy !Last changelog:
0.0.2 This should be handy to use less space in the pannel :
Active window widget :
-title can be visible by an option -mouse wheel up to maximize -mouse wheel down to minimize or unmaximize -MIDDLE mouse button TO CLOSE
removing bad stuff on the other 3 widget minimize maximize and close button TO DO :
-always the icon selector -maybe if i find out how , aka lack of time , to show buttons only when the current window is maximized -fix the layout on big panels
----------------------------------------
splitted in 4 plasmoid so user can choose where and what add to the panel
added active window icon fixed a lots stuff in configs dialog
TODO
fix some stuff on window icon maybe add the ability to choose the icon sets maybe add active text checkbox in window icon plasmoid --------------------------------- added maximize button removed window information tweaked some values always visible buttons
So I just installed it, and it does not seem to actually work. The widget with all of the buttons together doesn't show anything at all (just a small empty gap), and the individual buttons don't actually do anything when clicked. I was using the old version before (active window control that is). I just upgraded to the beta version of Plasma 5.9 (hopefully that isn't the problem) so I could use the global menu bar, and this would be a nice addition to that.
Can you tell please, what dependencies I should install for succesfuly build your applet in fresh kubuntu 15.04? I installed a few but now when I try to do cmake command I get error:
"CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "ECM" (requested
version 0.0.11) with any of the following names:
ECMConfig.cmake
ecm-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "ECM" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "ECM_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "ECM" provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed."
Maybe you can provide ready-to-install package through built-in KDE applet manager?
Trying to download the plasma applet took me to a 404 Page Not Found. Also using the install script you provided failed to install the applet. Perhaps the two are connected?
THANK YOU , fixed the link
for the script you mean this ?
mkdir /tmp/nowardev ; cd /tmp/nowardev ; wget https://github.com/nowardev/kde-peace-settings/raw/master/plasmoid/plasma-applet-nowardev-button_0.0.2.tar.gz ; tar xzf plasma-applet-nowardev-button_0.0.2.tar.gz ; ./installscript
if yes here it works fine , btw what does it says exactly ?
I haven't yet made the full switch to KDE5 (got it installed on my barely used laptop), so it's nice to see something like this, which I use on KDE4 available. It looks like it doesn't hide itself (and take up no panel space) when there's no active window though. Any plans for adding that as an option in the future, assuming such a thing is possible within Plasma's constraints?
well i used kwin buttons before but this configuration it's my default configuration , i have to figure out how to do that and it will take time .... maybe the original dev could you help out i dunno if i have time and i can figure out how to do that with option i will try

Can't build installer. Followed the instructions in description and output is same as posted from zoltor

I got the script to work. It was a missing dependent on my part. Forgot to install a certain plasma Dev program. I upvoted your applet. It works well.
perfect
