It's a +fairly small application, so this isn't a big deal. The task management +side of things (interacting with the window manager etc.) is now handled +via the standard TaskManager API provided by kicker. + +The division of labour between the classes is like this: + +* KasBar, KasItem, KasPopup + + These classes implement the KasBar widget. KasBar provides the + layout and smart redraws while the KasItem class is an abstract + interface for the items forming the bars contents. The KasPopup + class provides a self positioning widget that should be subclassed + to provide useful information. + + These classes are usable standalone. + +* KasTasker, KasTaskItem, KasTaskPopup + + These classes provide the glue linking the task management and + karbar modules together. + +* KasGroupItem, KasGroupPopup + + These class provide a container item for a group of tasks, and popup + window that shows them in a KasTasker widget. + +* KasBarExtension + + This class handles integration with kicker and configuration info. + +* KasPrefsDlg + + This is the configuration dialog. It acts directly on the kastasker + widget to provide immediate feedback of the effects of configuration + changes. Any changes being previewed are reverted if the user cancels + the dialog because the configuration is reloaded. -- cgit v1.2.1
