  • Are small applications living in the Window Manager dock managed by the panel.
  • Are implemented as DSOs (Dynamic Shared Objects).
  • Note: For security and stability reasons the panel won't load untrusted third party extensions directly into its namespace but via an external wrapper process. The panel locates available extensions by searching for extension desktop files in (ALL_TDEDIRS)/share/apps/kicker/extensions. Every panel extension should install a desktop file there to be recognized by the panel. Besides standard keys like "Name", "Comment" and "Icon" there are two panel extension specific keys:
  • X-KDE-Library
  • Used by the panel to locate the extension DSO (Dynamic Shared Object) Example: X-KDE-Library=libexampleextension
  • X-KDE-UniqueExtension
  • Similar to KApplication and KUniqueApplication there are two types of panel extensions. Use unique extensions when it makes no sence to run more than one instance of an extension in the panel. A good example for unique extensions is the taskbar extension. Use normal extensions when you need instance specific configuration. An example is a subpanel extension where you might want to run more than one instances. X-KDE-UniqueExtension is a booleanean key which defaults to "false". Example: X-KDE-UniqueExtension=true Back to panel extension DSOs, the following conventions are used for KDE: Name: libextension.la LDFLAGS: -module -no-undefined To implement a panel extension it is not enough to write a class inheriting from KPanelExtension but you also have to provide a factory function in your DSO. A sample factory function could look like this:
     extern "C"
     {
         KPanelExtension init(TQWidget parent, String configFile)
         {
             KGlobal.locale().insertCatalogue("exampleextension");
             return new ExampleExtension(configFile, KPanelExtension.Normal,
                           KPanelExtension.About | KPanelExtension.Help | KPanelExtension.Preferences,
                           parent, "exampleextension");
         }
     }
     
    Note: Don't change the factory function signature or the panel will fail to load your extension.
