| '''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.
| |
| | |
| :{|
| |
| |[[File:Dialog-information.png|32px|link=|caption]]||
| |
| :The animation is encoded in the GIF format and can thus be viewed in most modern web browsers without any additional plugins installed. Note that the animation is looped. | |
| |}
| |
| | |
| {{Note|Almost all HOWTOs assume that the widgets are unlocked. See [http://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/6/65/Plasma_howto-widget-unlock.gif 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.}}

| To link to an animation from another [[UserBase]] article, a thumbnail can be posted. Here's an example (edit this page to see the syntax):
| |
| ::{|cellpadding="5" style="border:1px solid darkgray;"
| |
| |<imagemap>Image:Plasma_howto-thumbnail.png
| |
| default [http://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/6/65/Plasma_howto-widget-unlock.gif]
| |
| desc none
| |
| </imagemap>
| |
| |-
| |
| |align="center"|How to unlock your widgets
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| The animations can also be used outside of [[UserBase]]. The BBCode (used in most forums) to post a linked thumbnail is:
| |
| <code>
| |
| [url=GIF][img]http://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/e/e8/Plasma_howto-thumbnail.png[/img][/url]
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| Replace GIF with the URL to the GIF file. The corresponding HTML code is:
| |
| <code>
| |
| <a href="GIF"><img src="http://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/e/e8/Plasma_howto-thumbnail.png" /></a>
| |
| </code>
| |
