GSoC weekly report – issue 10

I can’t believe how fast time has passed these last weeks. Today  I come with fresh snapshots of the new toolbox menu I’ve been developing the last week. It still has some bugs but I can already show it to the public:

Toolbox menu

Toolbox

The menu appears after clicking in the plus icon in the toolbox. If you click in one of the entries of the menu it adds the applet to the current containment or, if the applet was already added, it takes you to the containment where the applet is. There isn’t the possibility of removing an applet from this menu but it’s something that I’m not sure that we want/need from this menu, I wanted to keep it simple so we will see what happens.

I’ve also changed the toolbox look a little bit, added some animations here and there and did some refactoring and a lot of changes in the code. Oh, and you may also have noticed that there has been a lot of visual changes in the application. This is because we have Nuno Pinheiro collaborating as an artist. Thanks to Pinheiro we now have our new own plasma theme as you may have noticed in the Context View. The current track applet doesn’t look so well now and we will probably need to redesign the applet to fit with the new theme.

In a few hours I’m taking a plane to Belgium to attend to aKademy. It will be a week of hacking that I hope will be very productive. See you soon.
