Trashcan : Development Phase

                                                           Trashcan (QML)

Recently I developed trashcan which is available at kde-workspace ,branch:heenamahour/gsoc .
(not yet merged yet).

I have implemented a pop up menu having open and empty option .Just like the c++ plasmoid it can also be opened by left click on it .To confirm to empty the trash can on  using Empty Trash from the pop   up  menu  ,I have used a  QueryDialog.


It also displays the total number of items in trash using DirModel(plasma-mobile).It is resizable .Also ,I have added form factor  in it.
On Trash can  settings , config plugin is added using X-Plasma-ConfigPlugins .I have removed the background  by set.background hints(0).

I hope you will check it out ! :)

window-list using QML 1




 I tried to implement window-list using qml .Major functionalities are added to it using PlasmaCore ,plasma.graphicswidgets,plasma.graphicslayouts and qtextracomponents .
It involves quite a lot of javascript and qml to give a flexible ui .
Feels good to see it as it is my first plasmoid in qml . 
Looks similar ,isnt it :P
