[edit] Introduction

Libglacier app provide some simplitification to create application for Glacier UX applications. Why we make it? Just for siplisity of start developing applications.

[edit] Get Source

Latest sources you can get in Nemo-UX github. Last compiled rpm packages you can get it on nemo ux devel obs

[edit] Develop

[edit] in pro file

Add support of glacier library

CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
LIBS += -lglacierapp

[edit] in main.cpp

#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
#include <QQuickWindow>
#include <glacierapp.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   QGuiApplication *app = GlacierApp::app(argc, argv);
   QQuickWindow *window = GlacierApp::showWindow();
   window->setTitle(QObject::tr("Example"));
   app->exec();
}

[edit] Add context propertes

Important: GlacierApp::engine aviable from version 0.2 of library

QQmlApplicationEngine *engine = GlacierApp::engine(app);
context->rootContext()->setContextProperty("foo", bar);

All context proprttys must set before you call GlacierApp::showWindow();

[edit] on install

Executable file must be installed on /usr/bin

if you use nemo quickcontrols will be better start application from nemo qml booster

Main qml file must be called as $TARGET.qml and installed to /usr/share/$TAGRET/qml/

Translations file must be installed to /usr/share/$TARGET/translations/

[edit] Console arguments

• -w --windowed run application in window mode on desktop
• -p --prestart run application in shadow mode

without arguments applications run in fullscreen mode
