Hi,
with the help of notmart, I created custom shell + container + corona,
that that could be used by applications to render applets. I pushed all
this on [1]. It's not pretty, the goal was just to test and play around.
While doing this, I realized that the shell can only load applets which
are in plasma/applets, the container must be in plasma/containment, and
the shell in plasma/shell. All this is because of the place where
KPackage is searching
I think that i every application creates its own
containment/shell/applets, the packages should be put in places that
depend on the applet. Else, I think that it will be a mess. For
instance, I do this for Amarok: it would be unfortunate that the shell
tries to load an applet designed for Amarok.
I don't know if it can be useful for other projects, but when I'll have
a really basic app (it's almost there, I just want to remove some parts
of the code and put everything in a QDialog), I'll put the example on
the wiki. Maybe also in the example folder of plasma-framework?
Well, it was more an information, but if you have feedback about the
code or about what we could do about it, please speak up :D
Cheers,
Olivier
