Introduction

There are a lot of standard widgets in Kommander. Nevertheless, some useful widgets are missing. Fortunately, new widgets can be introduced not only by Kommander developers, but also by users.

With Kommander you can create new widgets based on non-Kommander widgets fairly easily. The approach is to derive your new Kommander widget class from the Qt/KDE widget which you wish to integrate with Kommander, and then also from the KommanderWidget class. Overriding methods from this class gives the Kommander widget its functionality.

Let's assume that we want to add standard KDE ColorCombo widget. This document will explain all steps required to add this widget to Kommander.
