Micah Stanley db98f2cd86 statusbar: fix hidden batteries from taking up space in the statusbar
I noticed at some point after updating my main phone, that non visible external device batteries started taking up extra space in the statusbar. This fixes the issue by filtering out external device batteries by using KSortFilterProxyModel.

Before (with external peripheral connected)

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).
