KDE + Qt --- Questions

[nupul]

The Kpanel a.k.a kicker, can be oriented along the four border of the screen and has a given width...how does Qt achieve this configuration??

- How to align my tool-bar-window (i.e. it's a separate frameless widget window) similarly on the desktop...i.e. It should always be located at the right side (or any side) of the desktop window...Do i need to perform absolute calculations to achieve this by using setGeometry or Do I need to do some Xlib programming for this!!

-How does the divit, which hides the KDE panel work...I mean how can this effect be achieved in Qt4?

-What type of a widget is the KDesktop?
is it something like: QListView+QDirModel????


Thanks

Nupul.

It doesn't :) KDE does that.

But seriously I don't see the problem. You can position a top level widget wherever you want using methods such as QWidget::move().

You can use QDesktopWidget (achievable through QApplication::desktop()) to find out the desktop's dimensions and alter your widget according to your needs.

What exactly? The animation? Use QTimer.

It's best to look at its sources and find out yourself. It's probably a completely custom widget.

Please, learn C++ before trying use QT...
