Getting started with Plasmoids
by Peter on Thursday 05/Jul/2007, @12:16

Having downloaded the LiveCD, I would like to try my hand at making Plasmoids. Are there any tutorials available? Documentation? Where is the clock plasmoid stored?

When the fallout from Akademy has cleared, come on over to #plasma on irc.freenode.net. It's a bit hectic and disorganised at the moment, but a few people have successfully managed to make their own. Good luck!

The API is quite straightforward and it can be found from kdebase/workspace/libs/plasma (applet.h and dataengine.h iirc). The clock applet is located in kdebase/workspace/plasma/applets/clock or something and engines directory for the engine.

About the tutorial, I think Bas Grolleman is working on to get multi-part tutorial to the techbase, but at least there's nothing currently.
