[plasmashell] [Bug 472737] API to support overlay icons on top of Task Manager apps' icons
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472737 --- Comment #7 from Andrew Shark --- Another cool idea where it can be used. When you open an application settings, some apps open another window for that (for example, web browser). And it could make the gear subicon on that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

>There is already a badge overlay implemented
This is the relevant spec we support https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/LauncherAPI
You don't need libunity, we have code in KDE using the badge overlay
(kmail/akregator) without any deps, it's just a few DBus calls.
Sound is handled differently.
>Might even make sense to do it as a FreeDesktop spec.
That's a horrible place to send someone on their first patch!
I would suggest extending what we have rather than building something new and
separate.
Given the DBus spec is just:
signal com.canonical.Unity.LauncherEntry.Update (in s app_uri, in a{sv}
properties)
we can shove in any new properties in that last entry, such as an
"overlay-icon"

I would recommend reaching out to someone like David Edmundson regarding an overall direction here, as he's much more knowledgeable about this sort of thing than I am. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Since it's a good idea, and you're a developer, would you be interested in implementing this? Might even make sense to do it as a FreeDesktop spec that we would then comply with, as this would give app developers a more solid spec to implement in their own code. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
