Kiosk Configuration Parameters
This page shall give you an breath overview, over the main variables which can be set in the plasma-appletsrc. They might be helpful for centralized configurations like Kiosk. The normal users DOES NOT need them in their daily business.
I will now just shortly cover the main variables which can be found in the configuration file.
Coding of a Panel
| Variables |
Explanation |
|---|---|
| desktop |
|
| fmrmfactor |
|
| immutability |
This number indicates wheter a panel is locked (Value: 2) or if the panel is editable (Value:1 ) |
| location |
The value which is set with this variable describes the location of the containment on the desktop (eg. Value: 4, this indicates that the panel is at the bottom) |
| plugin |
Type of plugin, in this example it is the definition of a panel for the plasma desktop |
| screen |
This variable indicates whether a plugin (in this case the panel) shall be always on top (Value: 1) or if overlapping is possible (Value: 0) |
Coding a Plasmoid
Lets assume we integrated a plasmoid into our panel.
| Variable |
Explanation |
|---|---|
| geometry X,Y,H,W |
With this variable we tell the plasmoid at which place we can find it in the panel, it is set through the X-position, y-position. The following last 2 variables are the height and width for the icon, so that plasma can rescale it |
| immutability |
default value is 1. Setting it to 2 disables the possibilities to configure it (configuring includes moving and deleting). |
| plugin |
Defining the type of plugin which should be integrated into the panel, eg. the launcher (KDE4 standard launcher), simplelauncher (KDE3 like launcher) |
| zvalue |
Immutability
Just a short deep dive into the topic of immutablity.
| Level |
||
|---|---|---|
| panel |
2 |
prevent moving, configuring the panel |
| prevents adding or moving applets, BUT does not prevent to delete an applet (as long, as it is itself not immutable=2) | ||
| applet |
2 |
prevents configuring and deleting this applet |
