EyeDashBoard DV

From eyeOS Wiki

Contents

Abstract

Creation of eyeDashBoard: a layer containing fast access applications (widgets).

Reasoning

There are a lot of applications we only use for a short time or for a single use. Sometimes we need to access easily to an application, and to allow all these uses we will create a layer, named eyeDashBoard, where some simple task-specific applications are contained.

How

Using the eyeX service API layer, a new layer will be created. This new layer will contain the applications.

Use Cases

Natalie wants to take a look at her running processes without opening eyeProcess, and to do that quickly she will use viewProcess widget.

Albert constantly needs to perform basic calculations, and thus he uses the eyeCalc widget without using the application, since it uses space in the desktop.

Technical Details

The eyeX layer API will be used to create the containing layer.

To configure eyeDashBoard a new application will be created, eyeDashPanel.

Dependencies

eyeX layer API.
