GSoC: Some updates…
Hi guys, it has been a while since my last post, but yes! I’m alive and the project is going well. 
For those who doesn’t remember, my project is to port some plasmoids to QML. Most of the work I’ve done these months was in two of the three plasmoids that I’ll port during GSoC. The porting of the Pager and the LCD Weather Station are quite advanced, you can see in the screenshot below the current status of them. The porting of the Weather Forecast I’ve started yesterday, so I don’t have much to show yet.
Until now I’m really enjoying the results of the project in terms of code. The MVC style is more evident now, specially in the Pager where there is a clear separation between the model (a QAbstractListModel subclass) and the view (the QML files).
I’m also taking this opportunity to become more involved with the community. I had a really good time last month attending to the Qt Contributors Summit and I hope to have a good time too next week in FISL.
I think that’s it for now… I’ll try not to take so long to write new posts.
Thanks for your efforts ! getting rid of QGV is really important for the future of our workspaces.
Good job! But while we’re on that, this weather plasmoid could use some fancy background (transparent option would be great too). Right now it just doesn’t fit (although it looks like real old lcd display)
There is an option to make the background transparent.
For now my job is to port the UI from C++ to QML, so the intent is to keep the visual and functional parity between the C++ and the QML versions. But I agree with you, it could be improved in the future.
