Need help making windows-style taskbar for Linux using QT6
-
Hi everyone,
I'm currently having trouble creating a simple taskbar/panel for Linux. The goal is to display running GUI applications with their icons and names, similar to what you see in Windows or KDE Plasma. Additionally, I want to be able to click on an application's icon to minimize or maximize it.
My target environment is Wayland, specifically KDE Plasma 6 with KWin. From what I’ve gathered, Wayland handles things differently than X11, and the implementation can vary between different Wayland compositors.
Finding documentation on this has been challenging, so I’ll need to spend more time looking at the code in KDE Plasma and LXQt. As a novice programmer, this will be difficult.
Does anyone have experience with this or any guidance on how to approach building such a taskbar? Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
