* X11 is optional dependency * XCB is optional dependency * Qt::X11Extras is only found if both X11 and XCB are found * switch to HAVE_X11 instead of X11_FOUND in CMakeLists * remove/fix custom added definitions * use #if HAVE_X11 instead of #ifdef HAVE_X11 (that is always true) REVIEW: 115698
Plasma Framework
The plasma framework provides the foundations that can be used to build a primary user interface, from graphical to logical components.
Introduction
The plasma framework is made by a library component and a runtime component:
-
libplasma: this is a library for the business logic, it manages: ** rendering of SVG themes ** loading of files from a certain filesystem structure: packages ** data access: dataengines ** loading of the plugin structure of the workspace: containments and applets
-
QML script engine: given the data provided by an Applet or a Containment, it maps to loading of an actual QML representation of it
-
QML components: sets of QML components to provide a widget set, and to access to libplasma components, such as SVG themes and dataengines.
-
Runtime environment: the plasma-shell executable. The runtime that will load the actual workspace, it's completely controlled by QML, by itself doesn't have any UI.
