GetHotNewStuff

Should be super easy. Sadly the category isn’t available here, which I think is the reason it doesn’t work: https://store.kde.org/ocs/v1/content/categories

Searching for things in the category does work: https://api.kde-look.org/ocs/v1/content/data?categories=564&tags=panon

kde/plasmoid/contents/config/panon.knsrc

[KNewStuff3]
Name=Panon
ProvidersUrl=https://api.kde-look.org/ocs/providers.xml
Categories=Various KDE Stuff
TagFilter=panon

kde/plasmoid/contents/config/ConfigEffects.qml

NewStuff.Button {
    downloadNewWhat: "effects"
    configFile: Utils.get_root() + "/config/panon.knsrc"
}

@siyuandong @rvs75 can you help with the category problem?

Sorry, I was finishing the Chinese translation. Now I can focus on this, need to read your post on reddit.com again.

Well, all you need is in here. It’s literally that easy.

The only changes apart from those two:

• The KDE store needs to fix its API so GetHotNewStuff finds the packages (as said above, currently the category the shaders are in is missing)
• Shaders need to be loaded from ${XDG_DATA_HOME-$HOME/.local/share}/panon (I think, let’s see where they end up)

I can do a PR once the store thing is fixed

You are so nice!

BTW, do you know what was the version of org.kde.newstuff when org.kde.kirigami 2.3 was released? I hope people using org.kde.kirigami 2.3 (like debian 7?) won't have a problem with this org.kde.newstuff.

import org.kde.newstuff 1.62 as NewStuff
import org.kde.kirigami 2.3 as Kirigami

I can accept either way.

Good question, sadly I don’t know. I think we can look it up by checking any of the .qml files in the package, like /usr/lib/qt/qml/org/kde/newstuff/qml/Button.qml, because they also contain the import line.

I filed this for the category problem: https://phabricator.kde.org/T12544

I will search Debian 7's repo.
