It's not about NoDisplay, plasmoids is a kind of widgets on KDE desktop, it 
also use desktop file to store metadata, though it's not sit in 
share/applications but some kde private folder. But each small widget is like 
an small application.

What I care is a app center doesn't only have application, it somehow should 
contains plugin to other application, for example, a browser plugin, a widget 
on desktop. And it makes sense if they don't have desktop file.

Can AppData handle such case?

appdata-validate is preferable minimum size  is about 600px, I guess an 22px 
tray icon isn't visible enough on that.

Is it possible for an application not providing any screenshot?
