ping... Hello everyone...
Merging Now Dock with Candil Dock we managed to release Latte Dock the last weekend and we are more than happy to use only kde and plasma technologies!! :) In the next phase of Latte development we are trying to make a plan for supporting wayland... Yesterday I managed to open a wayland session in openSUSE Tumbleweed for plasma 5.9 (it just run with the official packages with no adjustments) and tried to run Latte just for fun in it, so it opened and it looked fantastic! :) I suppose it uses the xwayland to achieve this... you can see a screenchot for it at: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2216474/24677245/c9f422de-198e-11e7-802a-8e489484556c.png we havent added yet any wayland specific code and we were expecting crashes etc. but this didnt happen... many kudos for everyone working around wayland porting etc!!! Being in that point we would like please an update concerning the use of kwayland from external apps like Latte... What is the situation in plasma 5.9, is there a way to access these privileged apis? if not, are there any plans when such support may be possible? thank you very much once more !!! regards, michail 2016-12-21 21:16 GMT+02:00 Martin Gräßlin <mgraess...@kde.org> > send from wrong address...(or kmail is broken) > > Am 2016-12-21 20:15, schrieb Martin Gräßlin: > >> Hi, >> >> currently every window gets access.
