Point homescreen and panel containment metadata at the Shift repository. Update the panel and task-panel descriptions from Plasma Mobile to SHIFT, and remove translated descriptions that would override the corrected base metadata.
Add a containment metadata guard while preserving the existing org.kde.plasma.mobile.* applet target IDs.
Use masked Kirigami icons with explicit theme colors for shell controls so the Shift icon theme renders reliably across light and dark surfaces. Replace the status-bar battery helper with theme icon names so battery glyphs also come from org.shift.icons.
Give the app-thumbnail close affordance a symbolic white X on a dark circular backing so it remains visible over previews.
Expose activity placement controls for running tasks in
convergence mode. The dock menu can now move a window to the
current activity, all activities, or a specific activity.
Place a desktop toggle next to Home in the convergence dock and
shift the pager and task focus flow around it. This brings the
upstream show-desktop affordance into SHIFT without adding a new
panel surface.
Place a Search button next to Overview and rebalance the dock
center so pager, trash, favourites, and running tasks keep
their spacing in convergence mode.
Expand the dock input region as soon as the reveal animation starts
rather than waiting for it to finish, so the cursor can reach dock
items while the panel is still sliding into view.
Introduce updateInputRegion() and call it from onDockOffsetChanged,
onShouldHideChanged, onActiveChanged, onWidthChanged, and onHeightChanged
so the input region is always consistent with the current state.
While hover-revealing with a maximised window present, switch the
LayerShell exclusion zone from -1 to dockHeight so the window tiles
away from the dock instead of being obscured underneath it.
Reduce the hover dwell timer from a hard-coded 300 ms to
Kirigami.Units.shortDuration so the dock is easier to summon.
Animate dock item sizing and button opacity when toggling convergence
mode so the dock does not snap abruptly between states.
FavouritesBar: promote cell/icon/nav/pager/trash sizing properties to
writable and attach NumberAnimation Behaviors (InOutCubic, longDuration).
Home, Overview, and trash buttons fade in/out with an InOutQuad opacity
Behavior so they appear gradually rather than popping.
Dock overlay (main.qml): introduce an `active` guard property so the
window can be driven by opacity (InOutQuad, shortDuration) rather than
toggling visibility directly. Switch the dockOffset slide easing from
a directional InExpo/OutExpo pair to a single InOutCubic so the motion
feels symmetrical.
StatusBar: smooth the background colour and convergence affordance
transitions.
Show only task actions that make sense for the current window and shell mode. Hide free-geometry actions while dynamic tiling owns window placement, collapse hidden menu rows, and filter virtual desktop destinations.
The containment provides HomeScreen instances itself. Mark the QML type
uncreatable to avoid default-construction warnings from the QML type
registration.
qmllint shipped with Qt 6.12 segfaults on the inline component
definition inside RunningAppsPanel.qml, breaking the
suse_tumbleweed_qt612 KDE Invent CI job. Move PanelIconButton out
to a sibling RunningAppsPanelButton.qml so qmllint never has to
parse a UiInlineComponent here.
The extracted file inlines its own colour-mix helper to keep it
self-contained and avoid leaking RunningAppsPanel internals.
Introduce shared dock height/reveal constants and use them in folio and taskpanel to keep overlay and exclusion zone aligned. Keep dock backing stationary while only content slides, and add a CTest invariant script to prevent regressions.
Steam, Lutris, and Heroic filter tabs in the Game Center are now
only shown when those launchers are detected on the system. Detection
checks the native executable, known Flatpak data directories, and
standard data paths. The tab bar shrinks accordingly.
On a zwlr_layer_shell surface the compositor does not send the
window's screen position back to the client, so mapToGlobal
returns dock-local coordinates instead of screen-absolute ones.
Compute position from screen.virtualX + targetDelegate.x directly;
the dock is full-width and bottom-anchored so no global mapping
is needed.
Right-clicking the desktop or dock background opened the mobile
settings overlay, which is a long-press gesture for touchscreens.
In convergence mode show a popup menu instead with three items:
Desktop and Wallpaper, Add Widgets, and Configure Desktop.
Long-press still opens the settings overlay on all form factors.
Show a trash icon to the left of the Overview button in convergence
mode. The icon toggles between user-trash and user-trash-full by
watching ~/.local/share/Trash/files via FolderListModel.
Left-click opens the trash in the default file manager via
Qt.openUrlExternally("trash:/"), making the feature file-manager-
agnostic. Right-click offers "Open Trash" and "Empty Trash"; the
latter shows a confirmation dialog before invoking KIO.Trash via
D-Bus.
The right wing of the virtual-desktop pager shifts left to make
room for the trash button.
Show compact numbered desktop buttons in the dock bar when two or
more virtual desktops exist. The buttons are split symmetrically
to the left and right of the centred app-icon cluster, matching
Plasma Desktop pager behaviour.
Click a button to switch desktops. Drag a running-task icon from
the dock and release it over a desktop button to move that window
to the target desktop. Right-click a task icon for a "Move to …"
submenu when the pager is visible.
The feature is a no-op on single-desktop sessions.
Show running windows in the app drawer with previews, window
actions, and virtual desktop controls. Hide dock task icons while
the panel is open so the same windows are not duplicated.
Use TaskManager to move windows between desktops, and expose
desktop activation through the containment.
interactive starts false at atYBeginning so HomeScreenState can
own the swipe-up gesture that opens the drawer on phones. No such
gesture exists in convergence mode, leaving the grid permanently
non-interactive. Short-circuit the condition when convergence
mode is active.
In mobile mode the status bar goes transparent when on the
homescreen so the wallpaper shows through. That is correct for
phone UX. In convergence/desktop mode it clashes with the always-
opaque dark dock: the top area looks light while the bottom is
dark. Return transparentBackground=false when convergence mode
is enabled so the panel stays consistently opaque.
Remove hardcoded Complementary override and white color literals
from AppDrawerHeader. In mobile mode the Plasma containment
framework already provides Complementary context; in convergence
mode the drawerOverlay Window starts a fresh Window context.
Both cases now propagate correctly without an explicit override.
Also set Kirigami.Theme.Window on the convergence dock
FavouritesBar so icon labels and hover highlights follow the
active system palette instead of the wallpaper context.
A mapped LayerShell surface prevents KWin from using DRM direct
scanout for fullscreen windows. Setting showing=false fades out
the HUD then sets visible=false, unmapping the Wayland surface
and allowing KWin to bypass the compositor render loop entirely
for the game frame.
The HUD reappears when the game exits or is minimised. Error
toasts still work because a failed launch never produces a
fullscreen window, so showingWindow remains false.
Connect to gameLaunched and gameLaunchFailed signals. Launch
toasts dismiss after 3 s; error toasts after 5 s with a red
background. The window grows downward from the HUD pill to
accommodate the toast pill.
When recentGamesChanged fires, the most recently played game
is stored in quickResumeGame. While set, the HUD pill widens
leftward to show the game name and a play button that calls
launchByStorageId directly — no need to open Game Center.
Star badge on pinned tiles (passive Kirigami.Icon, no event
handlers to avoid pointer-feedback loops). Pin/Unpin action
and per-game FPS cap + overlay rows added to the details dialog.
Per-game FPS and overlay rows use ButtonGroup with a Global
option that deletes the per-game key and falls back to the
global quick-settings value.
Remove isCurrent from info button visibility; add Menu and I
key handlers on the grid for keyboard/gamepad access to details.
Inject MangoHud when launching desktop and command-line games.
MANGOHUD_CONFIG is built per-launch via a QProcess instance so
env vars are isolated to each child process — qputenv is not used.
Global overlay toggle and FPS cap (Off/30/40/60) are stored as
properties on GameLauncherProvider and reflected in the quick
settings panel. Per-game overrides stored in plasmamobilerc under
[GamingPerGame/<storageId>] take precedence over the globals at
launch time.
Games can be pinned to the top of the grid. The pinned set is
persisted in plasmamobilerc [GamingPinned] and restored on start.
applyFilter() uses stable_sort so pinned games float to the top
while alphabetical order is preserved within each group.
Read the Waydroid allowlist from plasmamobilerc and treat matching
Waydroid launchers as their own source in the gaming shell.
Surface that source in Game Center so Android titles get their own tab,
source chip, and empty-state guidance.
Record recent launches only after the launcher reports success instead of
optimistically on every attempt. For desktop entries, wait for the
ApplicationLauncherJob result; for detached commands, use startDetached's
return value and show an inline error when startup fails.
Parse Steam libraryfolders and app manifests as KeyValues instead of
matching individual lines. This makes Steam discovery less brittle when
the files contain comments, nested blocks, or different formatting.
Keep Continue Playing visible alongside Running and show a temporary
launching state so the overlay does not pretend a task already exists.
Rename the GameMode status text to say what the shell actually knows.
Use SDL button labels so shell prompts match the connected
controller instead of always using Xbox-style wording. Expose
trigger rumble, touchpad count, gyro, and accelerometer support
through the gamepad wrapper and surface the relevant capability
labels in the overlay.
Enable background gamepad events and add short rumble feedback
for major shell actions such as opening quick settings, opening
the exit prompt, and launching a game.
Expose missing gaming controls directly in the panel so they
remain reachable in convergence mode. Add toggles for DND,
Launch Hint, Night Color, and Perf Overlay with gamepad focus
order updates.
Restyle brightness and volume sliders with rounded Plasma-themed
tracks and handles to remove harsh bar visuals while keeping
existing behavior unchanged.
Add PowerProfileControl and GameModeControl singletons and wire
them into gaming mode lifecycle handling. When gaming mode turns
on, keep DND on, switch to the performance profile when available,
and request GameMode. Restore previous state when gaming mode
turns off.
Add an overlayEnabled property in GameLauncherProvider so the
launcher can toggle MangoHud environment variables from QML.
Slide-out panel with brightness, volume, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
and airplane mode. Fully gamepad-navigable; D-pad and stick
input routed to the panel while open. System status bar
(clock, battery, connectivity) added to game center header.
Lutris games discovered from ~/.local/share/lutris/pga.db,
Heroic from ~/.config/heroic/store_cache/ JSON files.
Deduplication extended to cover all launcher sources.
Desktop entries launched via KIO::ApplicationLauncherJob to
expand Exec field codes. Generic commands parsed with
KShell::splitArgs. SQLite uses RAII cleanup guard.
Clamped SDL axis, rumble, and LED values. Renamed rumble
params from frequency to intensity. GamepadManager uses
singleton factory. setPlayerIndex checks SDL return.
FavouritesBar popup uses screen virtualX/Y for multi-monitor.
Show a PlaceholderMessage in the grid when no games are found,
with context-aware text for empty library vs no search results.
Map gamepad A to activate and X to close in RunningGamesView.
Update the legend bar to show X: Close when running tasks are
visible.
LB/RB cycle through source filter tabs (All/Steam/Desktop).
Start toggles focus between the search field and the grid.
Right stick Y-axis smoothly scrolls the grid at 60 Hz with
speed proportional to deflection. Update the gamepad legend
to show the new bindings.
Expose SDL_GamepadAxis as an Axis enum in GamepadManager so
QML can identify axis events by name.
Convert left-stick deflection into repeated grid navigation
events with a 150ms interval and 0.4 deadzone. First movement
fires immediately when the stick crosses the threshold.
Wrap game launches in a brief fade-to-black curtain (250ms)
before dismissing the overlay, giving visual feedback that the
launch is in progress.
The cover art tile used layer.effect with a plain Item instead
of a ShaderEffect, which broke the overlay rendering. Replace
with a clipped Rectangle wrapper.
Remove Behavior on color from the grid delegate background —
GridView currentIndex changes on hover caused the highlight
color to flash visibly between cells.
Fix dangling taskList reference in the gamepad ButtonA and
DPadDown handlers (taskList lives inside RunningGamesView).
Auto-reopen Game Center when the last window closes in gaming
mode so the user is never stranded on a bare wallpaper.
Grid tiles now show Steam library artwork when available,
falling back to icon+label for games without cover art.
Cell proportions adjusted to 2:3 for portrait covers.
Search bar filters the library by name. Source tabs filter
by All/Steam/Desktop. Both properties live in C++ so QML
just binds filterString and sourceFilter.
"Continue Playing" row shows the last 5 launched games
with artwork, persisted across sessions via plasmamobilerc.
Remove orphaned GameTile.qml (replaced by inline delegate).
SDL3-backed gamepad manager polls at 60Hz, handles hotplug,
exposes battery/rumble/LED per device. Game launcher aggregates
XDG desktop entries, Steam appmanifests, and Flatpak into a
single sorted model.
Game Center uses the new model instead of folio's search model.
D-pad/A/B/Y navigate and launch. Guide button toggles the
overlay. Battery and controller status shown in the HUD.
Strut windows committed zero height to layer-shell during
early init, causing a protocol error and session exit. Wrap
height and exclusionZone in Math.max(1, ...) for top bar
and dock.
Persisted gamingModeEnabled=true with hardcoded
gameCenterOpen=false hid panels with no overlay visible.
Initialize gameCenterOpen from the stored setting.
Fix HUD visibility regression from an emergency visible:true
override. Various null-guard and positioning fixes from
static analysis across the gaming shell QML.
LayerShell windows with non-spanning anchors (AnchorTop|AnchorRight)
crash the compositor when made invisible because Qt briefly resizes
the surface to 0 before unmapping it. Wrap GamingHUD in a Loader so
the window is destroyed rather than hidden.
Replace the generic 'Yes / Cancel' exit dialog with 'Keep Playing /
Leave' in both the Game Center header and the QS tile, matching the
mental model of a couch user.
The 'Launch Hint' QS tile is now hidden (available: false) when
gaming mode is off so it does not clutter the regular action drawer.
Full-screen layer-shell overlay containing a game library grid
(XDG Game category, filtered via ApplicationListSearchModel) and
a panel of running tasks built on TaskManager.TasksModel.
Keyboard-navigable with directional focus between the running
tasks row and the game grid. A persistent HUD button lets the
user return after launching a game. Exiting gaming mode requires
an explicit confirmation dialog.
The overlay is a Window with LayerShell.LayerTop so it sits above
running application windows without covering system notifications.
