| | | == More User Pages == |
| '''Plasma''' is one of the key technologies of KDE 4 (also known as the "Pillars of KDE"), and one of the most visible to users. As Plasma treats the user interface differently than a traditional desktop, there may be confusion as to what Plasma is, what it does, and how to perform common tasks.
| | These are temporary working pages: |
| | | {{:Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}} |
| The purpose of this document is to show how to preform common tasks in Plasma. Each HOWTO consists of one topic and a short animation, which is reached by clicking on the link. The animation is encoded in the GIF format and can thus be viewed in most web browsers without any additional plugins installed.

| | |
| {{Note|Almost all HOWTOs assume that the widgets are unlocked. See [http://www.x.se/npw Unlock widgets] for instructions on how to unlock them.}} | |
| {{Note|Due to distribution-specific customizations, your desktop might differ from those in the HOWTOs. | |
| In particular, if you miss the top-right toolbox (shown as a yellow icon), you can reach most options by right-clicking on the desktop.}}
