KDE Plasma Workspaces is the umbrella term for the fourth generation graphical environments provided by KDE. Currently there are three workspaces being developed: ''Plasma Desktop'' for traditional desktop PCs and notebooks, ''Plasma Netbook'' for netbooks,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Plasma Netbook )〕 and ''Plasma Active'' for tablet PCs and similar devices.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Plasma Active )〕 KDE Plasma Workspaces was released as part of KDE Software Compilation 4 and replaced Kicker, KDesktop, and SuperKaramba, which formed the Desktop in earlier KDE releases. They are bundled as the default environment with a number of free software operating systems, such as Chakra,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chakra Project )〕 Kubuntu,〔 〕 Mageia (DVD version), openSUSE,〔 〕 or PC-BSD. With the release of KDE SC 4.11 in 14 August 2013 KDE Plasma 4 was put into "feature freeze" and turned into an long-time stable package until August 2015. On KDE Plasma Workspaces 4’s successor, KDE Plasma 5, was released. == Features == Plasma features ''containments'', essentially an applet that contains other applets. Two examples of containments are the desktop background and the taskbar. A containment can be anything the developer wants: an image (either raster graphics or an SVG image), animation, or even OpenGL. Images are most commonly used, but with Plasma the user could set any applet as the desktop background without losing functionality of the applet. This also allows for applets to be dragged between the desktop and the taskbar (two separate containments), and have a separate visualization for the more confined taskbar. Plasma separates components into "data engine" and their visualization counterparts. This is intended to reduce the total programming effort when there are multiple possible visualizations of given data; and to make it easier for the data engine and the workspaces to be written independently. The scalable nature of the Plasma widgets allows for them to be resized and rotated to any size, with only a brief pause to redraw themselves. The Kross scripting framework allows developers to write widgets in a variety of programming languages in addition to C++. ''KRunner'' is a versatile tool for several functions.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 KRunner )〕 It replaces the dialog box "Run Command" from K Desktop Environment 3, and also inherits from the application launcher feature, expanding the possibilities through a modular plug. KRunner stores previously entered commands and searches, accessible via an auto-complete feature. ''KRunner'' can be shown on the desktop via the keyboard combination or by selecting "Run Command ..." in the desktop menu. These functions are handled by the plugin: * Application launcher: Type at least three letters of the desired name or description. KRunner shows applications associated with the terms of the search and allows the selection of the desired one. * Calculator: Simply enter the desired operation to show the result. It also supports sophisticated expressions. * Contacts can search for entries in KDE's address book allowing you to directly open, for example, KMail to write an e-mail. The address of the recipient of your choice is automatically added to the message. * Unit Converter converts values between different units of measure. * Web history: Search history of recently visited sites in Konqueror. * Recent documents: Search for recently opened files. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KDE Plasma 4」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
