Plasma/¿Cómo hacer...?/4.5

Information

La información aquí presentada es para Plasma Desktop 4.5.
Otras versiones disponibles: 4.3 - 4.4 - 4.5

El espacio de trabajo de Plasma es una de las tecnologías clave de KDE SC 4.x (también conocido como los "Pilares de KDE"), y una de las más visibles por los usuarios. Puesto que el escritorio Plasma trata la interfaz de usuario de forma diferente a como lo hace un escritorio tradicional, puede haber confusión sobre qué es el escritorio Plasma, qué hace, y cómo llevar a cabo tareas comunes.

El propósito de este documento es mostrar cómo realizar tareas comunes en el escritorio Plasma. Cada HowTo (¿Cómo hacer...?) consta de un tema y una breve animación, a la que se accede haciendo clic en el enlace.

The animations are encoded in the GIF format and can thus be viewed in most modern web browsers without any additional plugins installed. Note that the animations are looped.

Note

Almost all HowTos assume that the widgets are unlocked. See 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:

How to unlock your widgets

The code to do that is

{|
|[[File:Plasma_howto-thumbnail-45.png|link=Media:Plasma_howto-widget-unlock-45.gif]]
|-
|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:

[url=GIF][img]http://userbase.kde.org/images.userbase/d/df/Plasma_howto-thumbnail-45.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/d/df/Plasma_howto-thumbnail-45.png" /></a>

A description of how to record animated GIF files can be found here. Do you want to help out with making animations? See the Talk page to find out how!
