to stretch if there is free space on the right. Optionally, you can display a thin separator line.
This is useful if you want to place a plasmoid on the right in a panel, if you want to do logical groups of icons in your panel, etc.
Some ideas : there should be an easy way to do that in Plasma (maybe something to set the stretch factor or the minimal/maximal size of an applet directly from the panel-settings-toolbar ?). Moreover, maybe the plasma theme specs should be extended to include a SVG for separators.
Comments, patchs, code review (I'm quite new to this) are welcome

Fedora download link appears to be broken, unfortunately.
I think that Panel Spacer is not needed anymore, because this functionality is already integrated directly into Panels functionality in new KDE 4.x.x releases.
Ah, so it is, somehow some of my plasmoids had get uninstalled and I missed it. Thanks! :)
I'am using kde 4.4.1 I need spacer to center task widget on panel, but when I put spacer(on both sides of task widget) I see "thin vertical lines". What wrong?
RPM's for openSuSE 11.2: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Zigmund_Freud/openSUSE_11.2/
Hi, i've some problems to install it throught the debian package and the source. Panel Space is also for 4.3? Thanks
no idea if it works with 4.3. I will give it a try when I will have some free time
In Kde 4.3 is spacer included.
Oh thanks, it works :)
I'f I set the size to below default value the spacer(s) will change place when I log in again. Tried with new plasma configs and problem persists.
Hi, I don't think this is directly related to Panel spacer because it don't manage its own positioning... so it's likely a plasma bug. Please report it if you can, thanks :)
Very useful, thanks a lot :)
After a fair bit of work, I was able to compile the 0.2 sources on F11. Here's what I had to do. First, remove the line: find_package(Plasma REQUIRED) On line 19, change PLASMA_LIBS to KDE4_PLASMA_LIBS And then, most importantly, edit the file /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake and comment out the line producing the line reading: message(FATAL_ERROR "Qt compiled without support for -fvisibility=hidden. This will break plugins and linking of some applications. Please fix your Qt installation.") This should probably get changed back...
I always had this error, when trying to compile the source here under Kubuntu 9.10. Now finally with your instructions it worked for me. Thank you =)!
I have a quite stupid problem: The build/install process was succesful and I can open the plasmoid the usual way through the "add plasmoid"-menu. It adds a thin vertical line to my panel (that's good) but it's so small, that I just don't manage to open the preferences when clicking right and trying to hit it probably (that's bad ^^). Any ideas :S? Thanks
Me failed hard... Just ignore my post. Sorry ^^
kde 4.3beta seems can not have correct alignment, this with stasks will make sense!

Here is how to compile it on Kubuntu with KDE 4.2. I couldn't compile the source downloaded from here. The one from KDE trunk/playground should work fine. Quote:
mkdir ~/tmp
cd ~/tmp
sudo apt-get install libkonq5-dev libkonq5 cmake libplasma-dev kdelibs5-dev g++ kdebase-dev subversion
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/panelspacer
cd panelspacer
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
sudo make install
Then add it usually from Panel Settings -> Add Widgets
Thank you very much, it is working perfectly.
Alas, no go. The build/install worked smoothly, but the applet is nowhere to be found in the applet-installer. Any thougths on how to get it working? (Kubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.2.3) regards, Paul
Have you already tried to restart Plasma? Quote:kquitapp plasma

Hello, I trying compile it under Kubuntu 8.10 64bit and KDE 4.2.1, but I got following message: Make Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:84 (MESSAGE): ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in /home/breskmic/.kde/share/apps;/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/apps;/usr/share/kde4/apps Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! I think that maybe some DEV package is missing. Can you give me some advice which can be it? Thanks.
