Show/Hide Panel button #132
Comments
Sorry for taking so long. I originally went looking for a good example, but couldn't really find one. The clock, menu, task manager, pager, etc are all "Plasma/Applets". The panel is also an applet, but it's also a "Plasma/Component" as well which means it can contain other "applets". The desktop wallapaper area is also a Component since it can contain desktop applets. I've looked at few times to see if there was a simple good example of a component.
The above is probably the best example. However I've listed all the other plasma components I could think of.
I might try another crack at this later (my first attempt a few days ago was a wash). |
Hi @Zren , I probably did not explain my idea well enough, sorry :(. The idea is not to create a panel - that we already have (any regular desktop panel is just perfect), the idea was to create a button that would control the hide status of a chosen panel. A button that on Click - show panel, click again or off the panel - hide panel. Naturally that for this to work we would need to identify the "target panel" (and probably overwrite the native autohide panel option)... And i think this would be the most difficult part (but then again, i don't understand much about it...) |
@Zren I've been thinking about my suggestion... I am suggesting it thinking it does not exists already. Do you know of any such "button"? |
Hi @Zren Still, they might serve as an example of what i mean: https://askubuntu.com/questions/396588/set-a-hotkey-to-show-an-auto-hiding-plasma-panel |
@Zren : Ok... this is completely Off-Topic and for sure not a bug report (but more an Applet request), but since i didn't find any other way to contact you here it goes:
I don't have enough coding skills to do this, but how hard would it be to create a "button"/plasma applet that would:
Would it be doable?
The intention is to create a Plasma Panel (e.g.: on the right side) where one can put the desired applets and be able to access them on a button click (ATM the best one can accomplish with Plasma natively is an autohide panel, but everytime one goes to the scrollbar it shows up... an Windows10 Sidebar-like with a button would be way more useful)
(sorry for the off-topic)
