With your help, GGL on plasma looks great. See attached. Thanks again.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/7/3 Aaron J.

</div>ah, you mean at runtime have it do so from an external app. interestingly<br>
enough, this just came up earlier today with regards to a long term<br>
replacement system for the systray.</blockquote><div>Yes, a much fancier systray can be implemented on it. And the desktop can be benefited from it too: Click a widget and it turns to be a real application. Click it again, it goes back to the desktop. I can image a lot of fancy effects with it:)<br>

</div>the easiest way would be a d-bus interface. that's on the 4.2 schedule<br>
unforutnately, which puts this in the same category as a more flexible Install<br>
New Widgets. hmm.... maybe we should work on this set of functionality as 4.2<br>
issues (Install New Widgets, add widgets from an external command)<br>
<br>
as 4.1 goes into RC mode in less than a week and 4.2 is out in december, this<br>
should hopefully work. in the meantime users can do things a bit manually via<br>
the "Install From File" option in the Add Widgets dialog. not perfect, but<br>
something that works immediately.<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"></div></blockquote><div>All right. At least I can use GoogleGadgetBrowser to install gadgets then invoke them through "Install New Widgets". <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>ah, now i understand the issue. ok, that makes sense then.<br>

</div>oi! thanks for filing it (on behalf of the Trolls =)</blockquote><div> </div><div>QtScript developer has mailed me about the issues I mentioned. I hope we can work them out since if QtScript can be used, GGL can totally run with Qt4, then it can run any platforms which Qt4 can run on. That will be great.<br>
