Devin Lin 1914e9be44 statusbar: Remove system tray
The system tray has not been useful on mobile and isn't particularly
interactable due to its small size. Remove the system tray from the
status bar, if we need its functionality it would be more appropriate to
create a larger "tray UI" in the quicksettings area

Plasma Mobile

This repository contains shell components for Plasma Mobile.

Reporting issues

Locations

  • components/mobileshell - private shell component library (API not guaranteed to be stable!)
  • containments - shell panels (homescreens, status bar, task panel)
  • kcms - settings module
  • look-and-feel - Plasma look-and-feel packages (ex. lockscreen, logout, etc.)
  • shell - Plasma shell package, provides implementations for applet and containment configuration dialogs
  • quicksettings - quick settings packages for the action drawer
  • tests - small runnable snippets that can be used to test parts of the shell without loading all of Plasma

Test on a development machine

See the documentation page for more details.

It is recommended to use kdesrc-build to build this from source. See this page in order to set it up.

Dependencies:

  • KDE Frameworks 6 setup (plasma-framework and its dependencies)
  • plasma-nano
  • plasma-workspace
  • plasma-nm
  • plasma-pa
  • bluez-qt
  • Milou (for search)
  • Kirigami
  • Kirigami Addons
  • feedbackd (optional: for vibrations)

To start the shell in a window, run:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland dbus-run-session kwin_wayland --xwayland "plasmashell -p org.kde.plasma.mobileshell"

Useful options:

  • Specify the --output-count flag for the number of displays
  • Specify --width and --height for the window size
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland dbus-run-session kwin_wayland --xwayland "plasmashell -p org.kde.plasma.mobileshell" --output-count 2 --width 360 --height 720

Device specific configuration

See /devices/README.md for more details on setting device specific configuration (ex. notches, screen curves).
