A dozen cool plasmoids for your KDE desktop
A plasmoid is an applet developed with KDE’s new Plasma application development environment. So let’s take a look at what people have been cooking up with Plasma – the results are quite surprising and many are already shipping with the standard KDE 4.1 desktop.
Lancelot
As a plasmoid Lancelot must take the cake for the biggest so far. According to its sole developer Ivan Cukic, Lancelot is an application launcher menu for KDE 4 designed to provide a place from which all jobs begin. It provides quick access to applications, places, documents, contacts and system information. Lancelot features a no-click interface, integrated search and drag-and-drop to the desktop.
PeachyDock
PeacyDock is a rewrite of PrettyTasks that aims to bring complete OS X dock-like functionality to the KDE desktop. It has an applet (PeachyApplet) and a containment (PeachyDock) and is now being developed in the KDE SVN-repository. It almost seemed inevitable that someone would try their hand at cloning Mac OS X’s dock in Plasma.
