Panneaux du bureau Plasma

Panneau en mode configuration avec le sous-menu Plus d'options ouvert.

Un panneau est un conteneur d'application (widget) qui peut se trouver sur le bureau, de n'importe quel côté. On peut trouver plusieurs panneaux d'un même côté. Par défaut l'affichage est de un panneau qui s'étire en bas sur toute la largeur du bureau avec les widgets suivants à l'intérieur : menu d'application , desktop pager, gestionnaire des tâches (liste des fenêtres ouvertes), barre d'état (avec dedans, des éléments comme un like a detecteur d'appareils) et une horloge. Si vous utilisez un ordinateur portable, un netbook ou tout autre ordinateur utilisant une batterie il y aura aussi un widget de gestion d'alimentation dans la barre d'état. Au bout du panneau il y a une boîte à outils qui peut être activée pour accéder aux options de configuration.

Configuration

The panel can then be configured by clicking on the toolbox located on the right for horizontal or bottom for vertical panel. At that point, the panel will be in configuration mode. Panel configuration may also be accessed via the context (right click) menu in the panel.

The arrows on the edge of the settings menu allow the menu size to be adjusted. Arrows pointing left change the minimum panel size. Arrows pointing right change the maximum panel size. The arrow pointing up is the center of the panel.

Widgets in the panel can be sorted by dragging them when in configuration mode. Widgets align left in the horizontal and top in the vertical panel

Boîte à outils des panneaux

• Screen Edge: Allows you to drag the panel to any of the four edges of the screen.

• Height (for horizontal panel): Allows the panel height to be adjusted.

• Width (for vertical panel): Allows the panel width to be adjusted.

• Add Widgets: Allows widgets to be added to the panel.

• Add Spacer: Allows you to add a spacer into the panel giving space between the items in it.
  • The standard behavior of a spacer is that it uses as much space as possible (flexible size), but you can also set it to a fixed size:. Enter the context (right click) menu and deactivate Set Flexible Size.

Menu "Plus d'options"

• Panel Alignment: Allows the alignment of the panel to be set in three pre-set positions.
  • Left/Top
  • Center
  • Right/Bottom

• Visibility
  • Always Visible: Keeps the panel visible at all times, even when windows are maximised.
  • Auto Hide: Hides the panel off screen until the mouse is placed near the screen edge.
  • Windows can cover: This allows windows to cover the panel and if maximised, will cover the panel.
  • Windows go below: This allows windows to go below the panel, even when maximised.

• Maximize Panel: Makes the panel fit to the screen edges, if it has been resized.

• Lock Widgets: Locks the panel and widgets in position. Also hides the toolbox.

• Remove this panel: Removes the current panel and all widgets in it.

Under the Hood

Should anything "untoward" happen to your panel have a look at ~/.kde(4)/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc - the panel itself is classed as a containment (there are at least two, the desktop and the panel) which is home to all the different widgets you put there.

Info needed

Here the relevant section of plasma-desktop-appletsrc for a default panel containment should go. Please help us provide the info if you know anything about this.

Panneaux multiples

It is also possible to have more than one panel on your desktop. This proves useful if you want to have a more flexible layout:

Ajouter un panneau

To add a new panel either click on the desktop toolbox button and select Add Panel or open the context (right click) menu on the desktop and select Add Panel from the menu.

If more than one kind of Panel is installed, you will be able to select between them to choose what sort of Panel you would prefer. By default, two Panel types are available: Default Panel, which creates a Panel containing all of the default widgets (launcher, pager, tasks, system tray, clock, etc.), and Blank Panel, which adds an empty Panel without any pre-configured widgets in it.

Vérrouillage

Les panneaux et le bureau peuvent être vérrouillés pour empêcher de les modifier. Quand sont verrouillés, les boutons de la boîte à outils n'apparaissent pas, ni sur le bureau, ni sur les panneaux. Pour configurer un panneau, il doit être déverrouillé, sinon la boîte à outils et les entrées du menu contextuel à configurer ou l'ajout de widgets ne sont pas accessibles.

Locking can be done by either selecting the Lock Widgets entry in the Panel toolbox's More Settings menu or in the Panel context (right click) menu. Once locked, the Panels can be unlocked again by right clicking on either a panel or desktop and selecting Unlock Widgets from the menu that is displayed.
