Hello:
Kuzma now we are two with the same idea! :-). But I don't want to build the
whole desktop from scratch, i want to coordinate the work with the other
members of the lxqt project but every one seems to be working by in their own
stuff. I will be great if we define a todo list in order to start work.
Cheers

Asunto: Re: [Lxde-list] [razor-qt] Suggestion: merge lxqt-runner & lxqt-panel
I've just had a weird idea: make every part of DE as libraries and one
application which just runs these parts alone or together:
lxqt-launcher -panel -runner -desktop -whatever
Cheers,
Kuzma

Yeah you mentioned this before. I'm not a fan of merging the two; the
panel is especially a component users may want to change.
This needs more thoughts but it's a bit too early to care about it
imho. Maybe see what we do in the next 3-6 months and then decide on
the two components.

I'd agree with Jerome. If I understand your mail you can save 6MB, which is
nice for sure but not _that_ much. And in terms of functionality I don't see
the panel and the runner as very closely related. Let's get things working
first. And then, maybe, we can try to figure out how two applications can share
a cache (of icons and such)...

OK, let's make it work first.
Thanks!

Hello:
PCman, as you, I also did some experiments to merge the different parts of the
desktop such as lxqt-panel, lxqt-runner and even the pcmanfm-qt. My results
tell me that we can save from 2 to 4 mb per application merged so I consider
that this approach should not be dropped. If we make a modular design of each
application we will be able to build then standalone and as module of a big
application. Other problem that I found was that those application mainly the
PcmanFm-qt are a bit unstable when you just put then together. I will keep
working on this approach.
Best wishes
