'''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 [[Media: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.}}

== 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):
::{|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>
 
== Thanks ==
* '''Anne Wilson''' - thanks for all the help with UserBase!
 
== Contributors ==
* Hans Chen - current maintainer
