Just wondering, did you look into enabling reloading the settings for apps already running? Is it even possible? - Jan 28 2015

the package here is outdated, it is in the kdeplasma-addons package now, which you can get from kde.org. - Jul 05 2011

if yes then i'd suggest you to file a bug in your distro's tracker, and meanwhile you can compile it manually. - Feb 18 2011

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 93 comments
it is now in kdeplasma-addons so most probably your distribution does provide a package for it.
if not download a kdeplasma-addons tarball from www.kde.org and compile it.
you don't need to compile all kdeplasma-addons, though. just run "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`" in the base directory, then go into containments/groupingdesktop and do make && make install - Feb 15 2011

*Maybe* with the Qt scene graph it will be possible, but i'm not so sure about it. - Jan 19 2011
I hope you can complete it, keep up the good work! :) - Dec 19 2010

4. But Playwolf works with Amarok only. Anyway i have an idea that could allow me to do that.
Anyway I'm currently busy with Grouping Desktop, since the feature freeze is near. When i'll be tired of fixing bugs only i'll work on this :) - Oct 20 2010

2. Makes sense, will do.
3. The Playwolf's one is a bit more complex to do but it is doable. And i agree it's more cool, so i could do it.
4. I don't know... it works with other players too, so why Amarok and not Juk, for instance?
5. Uh, it seems QLabel can render html. So there's the possibility you can already do it. Have you tried?
6. Makes sense.
7. See above :) - Oct 19 2010

it's a bit that i'm thinking if it should have a custom background, anyway it won't be changeable by hand. it would be defined by the theme, like everything in plasma. - Oct 02 2010

KDE now has a nice wiki with a lot of documentation for the users. If you're willing to help you could write some documentation at http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/GroupingDesktop .
It would really be appreciated! :) - Aug 10 2010

As regards the svg, currently GroupingDesktop is in the process of being moved into KDE, after that i can see what I can do :) - Jul 29 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 93 comments
On the other hand i find that the current background fits quite well, so i don't know. - Jul 29 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 93 comments
1) Yes, I can do that, but not so soon :) i don't find it so important, so i've other priorities.
2) I've already tried to do that. Actually it requires very little work, so expect to see it. I've only to decide some things like if it is better to do a new containment type or an option in the config dialog.
3) I don't think, sorry :) I find it rather unuseful while it requires a bit of work to do it. Without saying that it can be in the way when managing widgets. And with the new Activity switcher in 4.5 it will be anyway fast and easy to change it. - Jul 29 2010

I didn't notice this because i build trunk, so i have them anyway.
I've sent a mail to a KDE mailing list, so i hope i'll be able to have an answer early.
Anyway you can still compile the desktop if in the CMakeLists.txt you comment (putting a # at the start of the line) all the lines regarding the panel. - Jul 24 2010

sincerely, i don't find this worth the work that would need, but you can try to make me change my mind! :) - Jul 20 2010

anyway there isn't a group that does what you want, yet. i want to do it but after i'm finished with the panel. - Jul 17 2010

You will lose all your groups but plasma won't crash anymore. - Jul 17 2010

in that window click on the "Developer information" tab, wait for it to load and copy the output on a pastebin, then link it here. - Jul 17 2010

Plasma 4 Extensions by giucam 93 comments
anyway, as a workaround there is a safer, while harder, way to change the desktop to GroupingDesktop:
in a shell do:
-quit plasma with "kquitapp plasma-desktop"
-modify the file (~/.kde4 or ~/.kde)/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
locate in the file an entry titled [Containment][number] in which there is a line "plugin=desktop". change it with "plugin=groupingdesktop" and restart plasma calling plasma-desktop - Jul 17 2010

Surely Grouping Desktop has still limitations, like the panel still missing (why do you say that Grouping Desktop can't be used in the normal desktop? why do you want to do that? what are you missing?).
Anyway on the long run it is the right way to go. It allows more ease of development of different groups, without saying that this Container can't do many things. Try dropping some text on it, it won't create a Note widget like Grouping Desktop, and won't be able to gain many features added in libplasma which Grouping Desktop will get for free. - Jul 11 2010
