Plasma is the name of the new desktop planned to replace KDesktop in KDE4. You may think that it is a union of [http://netdragon.sf.net SuperKaramba] and KDesktop, but it's more. It's a whole concept of functionality and beauty.

Its implementation is based on the Qt [http://doc.trolltech.com/graphicsview.html Graphics View Framework] introduced in Qt 4.2.

From a developer point of view there are some classes in libplasma who play central roles.

* '''Corona''': extends [http://doc.trolltech.com/qgraphicsscene.html QGraphicsScene] and provides functionality for adding applets and karamba themes.
* '''Widget''': extends [http://doc.trolltech.com/qgraphicsitem.html QGraphicsItem] and works as simple elements in the desktop. There are some built-in in libplasma as icons or buttons.
* '''Applet''': extends Widget and implements sophisticated functionality as rss display, a clock or system monitoring.
* '''DataEngine''': The common use of a DataEngine is to provide data to an applet for display. This allows a user interface elements to show all sorts of data.
