PanelShadows - KDE Store

PanelShadows

Plasma 4 Extensions

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

2

Description:

Add this to your desktop and any panel will cast a shadow (maybe works best with bright themwes, but aya is "broken" in trunk)

atm. it can not catch panel additions, i.e. if you add a panel, you want to remove this plasmoid and readd it as well :(

configurable as soon as i found a way to provide an interface w/o having a visible applet - wouldn't it be cool to have a cashew replacement that one can hook such interfaces on? ;-P

Last changelog:

errr... i assume you refer to the menubar - XBar, part of bespin (and only works with either bespin or iirc qtcurve)

I did the mkdir build ccmake dance and it built and installed without errors, but it doesnt seem to show up in add widgets explorer.

I am on KDE 4.4 b2

sure you installed to `kde4-config --prefix`?

try
stat `kde4-config --prefix`/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_panelshadows.so

and
stat `kde4-config --prefix`/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_panelshadows.so

if nothing else, maybe plasma needs a refresh,
kquitapp plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop

Wich icons do you use and how did you manage to use that macish global menu in the panel? looks so great

Thomas uses his own desktop, tho there is
a xbar plasmoid that ships with bespin,
just add it to the top panel and boom.

erhem... this panel obviously WAS plasma (elegance theme) - otherwise the screenshot WOULD have been a betrayal ;-)

How would I modify the code such that this works (better) on bottom screen panels?

Or what about if the panel is transparent - I notice you can see the shadow underneath, which makes the panel much darker than it should be.

How to get this installed?
Shouldn't this be a binary format?

Ah, confused about the "Plasmoid binary" definiton. Should first check the folder to find out it is a code what to compile. All fine now...

What desktop style and windeco are you using? Is there the MAC OS menubar visible from forthcoming 4.2?

thomas12777

bespin and no: the xbar is part of bespin

... can be found in my repository:

You can enable it by executing following command:
su -c "echo "deb http://smihael.bplaced.net/plasmoids/ binary/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update"

and then install as ususaly (aptitude install panelshadows)

Or just download:
http://smihael.bplaced.net/plasmoids/binary/panelshadows_0.11-1_amd64.deb
and install it with dpkg -i command.

su -c "echo 'deb http://smihael.bplaced.net/plasmoids/ binary/' >> /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update"

Not su -c "echo "deb http://smihael.bplaced.net/plasmoids/ binary/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update"

And:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Feh http://smihael.bplaced.net binary/

This seems to work with the Kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex (KDE 4.1.2).

Does not work in KDE4.2 Trunk :/

thomas12777

hummm... just inspected current panelview code. it /should/ still work (why do they always have to update all those pixmaps...)

just to be sure:
- you won't see too much on bottom panels, as the shadow has a downdrift (and is yet not configurable)
- also the maximum alpha is hardcoded to 25%, so the effect is probably low on dark wallpapers

could you just assure it's not just about this?

Znurre

I tried adding it to the desktop, but this "remove sign" in the applet browser wouldn't even appear, so I suppose it did not even get added to the desktop at all.

friday
-> works (at least with current (yesterday) plasma trunk)

maybe there's sth. broken with your plasma
do you use the def. desktop containment?

Znurre

Since latest plasma update it works! :)
Thanks for a great plasmoid.

thomas12777
12 years ago

ok, thanks.
seems to be something about the plasma infrastructure then (i need view() != 0) and loop the initialization until it exists. probably it doesn't anymore in recent plasma.
-> friday ;-)

thomas12777

i did not compile the latest libplasma -> kdelibs changes, yet :-(

expect update around Friday, then - sorry
