[Okular-devel] Season of KDE -- Okular

[Sumit Sahrawat, Maths & Computing, IIT (BHU)]

Hi once again,

I'm currently working on the dual-screen presentation mode. I asked people
to pitch in on an idea on the bug report, but got no response.

I understood the ui/presentationwidget module at a high level, and came up
with a idea for how we might make this work.

If no. of displays is greater than one, presentation mode adds a sidebar to
the main window which lists all the displays. No presentation actually
starts.
The sidebar, which will act as a control panel, allows the user to choose
what to display on any display. We provide three options:

1. Slides: The slideshow.
2. Dashboard: Current slide, previous and next slide, clock, and notes for
the current slide. Also re-use the top-bar from slideshow widget.
3. Nothing: Close any slides/dashboard display.

In this setup, one display can control all the displays, and we also
provide a button to switch between the two modes on the top-bar.

Any comments or suggestions?
