Plasma/HOWTO
Home >> Applications >> Desktop >> Plasma Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar
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.
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 modern web browsers without any additional plugins installed. Note that the animation is looped.

Further information
For reuse
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):
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:
[url=GIF][img]http://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/e/e8/Plasma_howto-thumbnail.png[/img][/url]
Replace GIF with the URL to the GIF file. The corresponding HTML code is:
<a href="GIF"><img src="http://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/e/e8/Plasma_howto-thumbnail.png" /></a>
Thanks
- Anne Wilson - thanks for all the help with UserBase!
