KasBar TNG Design
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
In order to support both the various features people asked for when I
|
|
discussed Kasbar on dot.kde.org without ending up with a completely
|
|
unmaintainable application, I've decided to rewrite the code. It's a
|
|
fairly small application, so this isn't a big deal. The task management
|
|
side of things (interacting with the window manager etc.) is now handled
|
|
via the standard TaskManager API provided by kicker.
|
|
|
|
The division of labour between the classes is like this:
|
|
|
|
* KasBar, KasItem, KasPopup
|
|
|
|
These classes implement the KasBar widget. KasBar provides the
|
|
layout and smart redraws while the KasItem class is an abstract
|
|
interface for the items forming the bars contents. The KasPopup
|
|
class provides a self positioning widget that should be subclassed
|
|
to provide useful information.
|
|
|
|
These classes are usable standalone.
|
|
|
|
* KasTasker, KasTaskItem, KasTaskPopup
|
|
|
|
These classes provide the glue linking the task management and
|
|
karbar modules together.
|
|
|
|
* KasGroupItem, KasGroupPopup
|
|
|
|
These class provide a container item for a group of tasks, and popup
|
|
window that shows them in a KasTasker widget.
|
|
|
|
* KasBarExtension
|
|
|
|
This class handles integration with kicker and configuration info.
|
|
|
|
* KasPrefsDlg
|
|
|
|
This is the configuration dialog. It acts directly on the kastasker
|
|
widget to provide immediate feedback of the effects of configuration
|
|
changes. Any changes being previewed are reverted if the user cancels
|
|
the dialog because the configuration is reloaded.
