Description:

PeachyDock
==========

A complete rewrite of PrettyTasks that eventually bring complete OS-X Dock like functionality to the KDE/Plasma Desktop. It will consist of an applet (PeachyApplet) and a containment (PeachyDock).

PeachyDock is being developed in the KDE SVN-repository, in trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/peachydock. So if you like to you can compile and run it. Currently it still is behind PrettyTasks in terms of features. But it compiles and runs with KDE from trunk. And it will catch up soon... and bring fun and ease-of-use to a desktop near you.


PrettyTasks (old version)
=========================

This is a applet to show that icon scaling and task-management combined is possible in Plasma.

It should work with 4.0.x

To compile/install it do:

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/your/kde4/installation
make
make install

Can't build on KDE 4.3 beta 2 Kubuntu: cmake shows the error:

CMake Error at /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/FindPlasma.cmake:13 (message):
FindPlasma.cmake is deprecated. Now with KDE 4.2 Plasma is part of kdelibs
and automatically found using find_package(KDE4) instead.

Replace the variables previously coming from FindPlasma.cmake as follows:

PLASMA_OPENGL_FOUND -> KDE4_PLASMA_OPENGL_FOUND

PLASMA_LIBS -> KDE4_PLASMA_LIBS

PLASMA_INCLUDE_DIR -> KDE4_INCLUDE_DIR or KDE4_INCLUDES, should be already
set anyway

PLASMA_FOUND -> nothing, it's always there if KDE4, version 4.2 or newer
has been found.

If you see this error message in a module within KDE/, update it from svn,
it has been fixed already.

I don't think it's possible to do cmake on plasmoids. I have tried 2 different ones with no luck. the only one I had luck with was yawp because it had an install script which set everything up. but cmake simply doesn't work. I am definately not feeling the love with plasmoids in 4.2 so far. Is there a magic formula that only a few people know as to how to make this work?

I'm running KDE 4.1 from rawhide on F9, and trying to install this.

Qt: 4.4.0
KDE: 4.00.84 (KDE 4.0.84 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080625)
kde4-config: 1.0

I check out from svn, revision 828025. The cmake runs fine with no errors, but when I run "make" I get the following:

I run "make install" anyway, and it writes the following files:

Install the project...

-- Installing /usr/lib/kde4/peachy_applet.so
-- Installing /usr/share/kde4/services/peachy-applet.desktop

I can choose the Peachy applet from the list, but when I add it to the desktop it is just a small box with a grey tranparent icon with nothing else. I can also find no way to configure the applet. Is this due to the unused parameters in my "make" output? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately PeachyDock isn't in a working state right now... Didn't have any time left the last couple of weeks, but I hope (and think) I'll get to it soon...

Wasn't PeachyDock moved to official KDE proyect? http://commit-digest.org/issues/2008-06-08/ Says it's now in playground.

And it is (http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/peachydock/). Would be very insteresting to see it in action. I think current TaskManager and SystemTray needs evolving.

What's the final goal of this application?

I mean, for the moment it looks like Mac OS Docker, but it reacts like a classical task manager without text, just icons and an arrow when minimized.

So my question: is it going to be a dock-like plasmoid or a task manager plasmoid?

as we have now lost kxdocker and xqde seems to be dead... but great job, i like it as it is now!

Stupid question, but I had bad experience
with this before.
Can i put pretty task on panel, or is this an stand alone widget.

The thing with Plasma is that there are no standalone widgets. You should be able to put it on a panel.

I've created an Ubuntu-Repository for Hardy (also with other plasmoids)
just add

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cornelius-maihoefer/ubuntu hardy main

to your /etc/apt/source.list

and install plasmoid-prettytasks
Works for x86 and amd64

Cheers

Hi, why create your own server when you could come to KDE's SVN and join the fun? :)

For Plasma-related questions, feel free to join the panel-devel mailing list.

p.s. I hope you're building against the latest plasma since it is not backward compatible with the 4.0.x.

Cheerio!

Seems like there's a problem with the CMake configuration. But I'm not sure... Did you already compile something else successfully with CMake?

okay i finally made this thing work, you need the following packages (kubuntu 8.04):

build-essentials, cmake, libplasma-dev, kdebase-workspace-dev, kdelibs5-dev

with them mine worked anyway.

i love this plasmoid, a little thing that i would like added to the "todo-list" is transparent background, like its possible with the standart battery plasmoid
