I've previously skimmed the chromium source code to see the difference on how it handles this in Windows and in Linux with PulseAudio. I couldn't lock down where it tells the stream name the title of the tab. I'll try looking into Firefox's source code next time and see if I can find it there. Basically, this requires patching Chrome + Firefox I think because running "pactl list" doesn't show the title of the tabs. - Apr 05 2017

Just so you know, the "Widgets" in Event Calendar (Timer / Meteogram) ne ces pas plasma widgets. They are part of "Event Calendar" like the "Agenda" and "Calendar". Sorry if it is confusing, I probably should have chosen another word for them. - Apr 02 2017

Tiled Menu [Plasma 5]

Plasma 5 Menus by Zren 316 comments

Plasma's API doesn't expose the icon's pixmap to do any "parsing" of the icon. So that means I wouldn't be able to generate a random colour like Unity's taskbar or Window's menu.

I've been working on a tile editor dialog, but running into a few roadblocks because I don't have an example to learn from.
I'm still developing code to serialize a {key: { ... }, key2: { ... }} type which Plasma doesn't have an example of.
I'm also not 100% certain how to create a dynamically generated dialog window. Maybe I'm optimizing prematurely and window's aren't actually created till their visible but meh. Setting up 3-30 invisible windows for each tile probably isn't a good idea. - Dec 27 2016

Meteogram will use 12h/24h format if the clock in the panel uses it (does it contain AP in the time format).

OwnCloud is unlikely to get done for a good long time. I'm focusing more on integrating the GCal (editing the description / deleting). I'll try to write things to support multiple calendar services going forward, but it's a lot of work. - Nov 30 2016

* Search box has a checkbox for using the plasma theme in the config.
* Sidebar color and tile color have options too. Though there's a bug with my color editor atm that sometimes resets the colors to black, need to push the next version with the fix.
* Using Rectangle { color: theme.buttonBackgroundColor } does have some issues in some themes (which is why the colors are configurable)
* The tiles _need_ to have their color editable in the config. Which means they can't use a svg.
* The sidebar could use an svg, i'll try mocking it up later.

> between left-bar and the "letter"-categories a little gap.

Ah yes, I forgot to fix that. Lazyness that.

> Text color

> Also something has to be done about identically named channels, but upstream may be the better place for that.

When you hover the icon, what does it say the name+description for both of them?

I changed the name to be "Speaker" and "Mic" instead of the long and useless "Built in Analog Stereo". It will use that when the name starts with "alsa_output." and ends with ".analog-stereo".

* I'm unlikely to add AlsaMixer-like keyboard controls anytime soon.
* I'll probably do a "Speaker" submenu someday, I remember that iterating the speakers was a pain though so that's probably why I didn't add it.
* I don't think I'll be doing vertical text even as an option.
You're welcome to try doing some more heavy customizing by editing the file:

* You can drag and drop the app onto a speaker. This is a feature ported from the default widget (though it was added in KDE 5.7).
* Showing non active applications is something you'd have to ask upstream for (plasma-pa / the default widget).
* Not sure what you mean by keyboard controls. Elaborate?
* I've considered creating a color picker layout for awhile, but it's just easier to depend on the theme for the colors. Might do it eventually.
* As in the width of the volume control? or the text label + icon as well?
* Scrolling over the icon in the panel is configurable in the settings right? Hovering the volume sliders is waaay too much work to make configurable since it depends on a specific variable. I'd have to rewrite the QML slider to do that. The best I can do is chose a different default. Right now, 11 mousewheel clicks gets you from 0 -> 99% volume (so 12 clicks). Should I aim for the default of 15 clicks? Or...? - Sep 28 2016
Win7 Volume Mixer

Plasma 5 Multimedia by Zren 59 comments

I wrote this before I found out about KMix, so I didn't know there was another "vertical" mixer with the same style. If needed, I can always change it to "Vertical Volume Mixer" if using Win7 ever becomes a problem.

Ideally, I plan on showing the current "volume" peeks like Win7. I've managed to do it with a seperate script based off reading pavucontrol's code ( https://streamable.com/zfzr ). I haven't merged it since there the "executeable" datasource doesn't "stream" a process. So I had to run a script x FPS per second, which spams top.

One thing I won't copy from Win7. One is scaling the volume's sliders to the max volume (that's the most annoying part of it).

I might eventually include a Win7 theme too (upside down isosceles triangle, but for now it works fairly well with themes. - Sep 15 2016

Plasma 5 Applets by Zren 83 comments

Sorry for the wait. I meant to update this much earlier, but I ran into another bug on my Neon install. This bug was one of those that made no sense.

A second empty placeholder was added at the bottom, but when you went to edit this extra placeholder, it showed a bunch of HTML. I norrowed it down to the ProxySortFilterModel getting out of sync with it's sourceModel, but beyond that... It just made no fucking sense. I restarted plasmashell. No dice. I restarted the PC. No dice. I added a second instance of the widget in the panel, deleted the desktop instance of the widget and readded it... It's fixed. There's no reason for that to have worked and it's driving me crazy.

I just tried the widget with a Kubuntu 16.04 LiveCD, with KDE 5.5.5 and Qt 5.5.1, and it worked. I tried it on Kubuntu 15.10 with Qt 5.4.2 and it didn't work. Lowering the QtMultimedia to 5.5 still didn't work, and while it loaded the widget with QtMultimeida 5.4, it didn't play any sounds when the timer completed. I also had to comment out Layout.margins in PopupView to get it working on Qt 5.4.

I tried setting it to QtMultimedia 5.4 on my KDE Neon install (Qt 5.6) and it still worked fine, so I'll lower that dependency.

You can wait for v35 sometime today or edit the textfile yourself and relog.
