Plasma 5 Applets by Zren 19 comments

The GitLab API is a little different than the GitHub API. I'd need to fetch 2 requests (issues + merge requests), then merge them sorted by most recent. I'd also have to add a new configuration field for the domain of the gitlab instance.

You're still getting the same error? Clicking on the event opens up the /b/1/ url though right? If you edit the same event in the browser, is there any difference in the url? - Oct 17 2018

Plasma 5 Calendars by Zren 707 comments

Hmmm. I'm not certain how to fix this going forward. The widget would have no way of knowing you're logged into 2 users in your web browser. I could maybe make the url configurable I guess... I don't really want to have to write a full event editor GUI which is why it opens in the browser in the first place.

As for fixing your problem right now, see this bit of code?
https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-eventcalendar/commit/e17e15622686964d3ffac8cfd2eb73fa0ba94ad7

You could probably edit the url there. Open up:
~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar/contents/ui/calendars/GoogleCalendarManager.qml

Modify the url. then restart plasma by either relogging, or running:
killall plasmashell; kstart5 plasmashell - Oct 17 2018

Weird, yours has an extra /b/1/ in the url. I tried adding that and the the url but it loaded normally. So I've no idea why it's not working.

Breeze AlphaBlack

Plasma Themes by Zren 61 comments

If you're going for a completely transparent panel, I think there's someone who's probably uploaded a modified version like that, but if you want to modify the theme youself to customize it to your liking:

To edit the shadow that outlines the panel, Open up the following SVG in the Inkscape app:
~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/breeze-alphablack/widgets/panel-background.svg

Select the 9 "shadow" tiles in the middle "square".
Then drag the opacity from 100% down to 0%. The shadows should now be invisible.
Save the file, then switch to another Desktop Theme (like Breeze Dark) and back to test the changes.

The "task manager widget" is styled with the "breeze-alphablack/widgets/tasks.svg".

More info about Desktop Themes at:
https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma5/ThemeDetails

If there's any other Breeze SVGs you want to override, copy them from:

Open up ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar/contents/ui/PopupView.qml

Then change the width/height values to whatever you desire. The default with all 4 widgets in a two column view are:

Layout.preferredWidth: 810 * units.devicePixelRatio
Layout.preferredHeight: 510 * units.devicePixelRatio

After you've made your changes, restart plasmashell to test it. You can restart plasmashell by either running the commands below or logging out and back in.

killall plasmashell; kstart5 plasmashell

Due to how complicated the width/height code already is, I'm unlikely to add a simple configurable size, sorry. - Oct 09 2018

Oh right, forgot about this. Newer versions of Firefox have the option to use client side decorations, which lets Firefox draw tabs in the "titlebar". You might find that more useful than this script.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqDPyr02Vkg

Thoughts on how to make it look better? Maybe a little extra spacing between the "time" and the "description"?

I'm thinking that I shouldn't bolden the description when it's an active event.

YearProgress

Plasma 5 Calendars by Refused 26 comments

Notice how fuzzyclock has a property named currentDateTime? Every property you define has a on_____Changed signal you can bind to. Since currentDateTime has a binding to dataSource.data.Local.DateTime, every time the dataengine updates, it will update currentDateTime too.

Here's an example you can use to test the differences between AlignToHour, AlignToMinute and AlignToSecond.

YearProgress

Plasma 5 Calendars by Refused 26 comments

Every 2 seconds seems excessive. The "time" dataengine, which the Digital Clock, Fuzzy Clock, etc uses, has a property to show the current time. It also has the ability to AlignToHour, which means it only updates when the hour changes.

You ought to look into the fuzzyclock widget for a simple example.
https://github.com/KDE/kdeplasma-addons/blob/master/applets/fuzzy-clock/package/contents/ui/main.qml

Here's where AlignToSecond, AlignToMinute, and AlignToHour is defined if you're interested in that enum.

> For reference, I have two mics (headphones and webcam) and they both just show up as generic "mic."

Can you see anything distinctive between the two? Run the command "pacmd list-sources" to compare them.

I currently override the long name with "Mic" if the name contains the keyword "alsa_input." which might be too generic.

It should be updating the events every 20 minutes. You can set a 5 min interval in the settings under the Events tab.
It should also be fetching the events when it first loads. The "Holidays" plugin events show up correctly right?
I'm guessing the "KDE PIM" events need an internet connection, and your WiFi hasn't finished connecting by the time the Plasma desktop + widgets has loaded? - Sep 05 2018

You can't edit the "appletrc" with plasmashell running, as plasmashell will overwrite your changes when the process is killed.

So first open up the terminal in one window, and "appletrc" in another window. Run "killall plasmashell" in the terminal. Edit the "appletrc" file. Then run "kstart5 plasmashell" in the Terminal to bring back Plasma/panels/wallpaper. - Aug 25 2018

You can hold Alt, click a window to select it, then release Alt.

It's possible that while it's "uninstalled", the system tray widget "remembers" that you want it disabled in case it is ever installed again.

Wow, I've been using "thin titlebar" themes so long I complete forgot there was text in the TITLEbar. Welp.

Here's how the default is defined:
* https://github.com/KDE/yakuake/blob/master/data/skins/default/title.skin#L13-L19

And here's what I've been using:
* https://github.com/Zren/yakuake-sodadark-thintitlebar/blob/master/title.skin#L13-L19

I'll need to look into if there's a way to draw the titlebar completely "offscreen", or if I can set the font size to 0, or if I can draw the text as a "transparent color".

Looking at the code that loads the skin, I don't see any "disable the title" options.
