GSOC Rekonq – A Screenshot

As some of you may know, I am working to implement tab grouping in Rekonq using a Panorama view. After so many days of not blogging, I thought I should post an update. I have a screenshot to show. Not very attractive though, looks very very blank, but its still something. At this stage, Rekonq just shows the sessions and thumbnails of the tab – including the deactivated ones. I haven’t been able to find a nice way to show the deactivated sessions – i know it looks clumsy 🙂 Right now I am working on beautifying the UI, using QGraphicsView for it. Any cool UI ideas are welcome. Here’s the screenshot

And here’s how the session file for the same is stored internally

<!DOCTYPE sessionFile> <sessionFile> <session title="" active="true"> <tab title="Maths 'N' Tech Club | NIT Durgapur" url="http://localhost/mntc/"/> <tab title="Fedora Project Homepage" url="http://fedoraproject.org/"/> <tab title="Downloads" current="true" url="about:downloads"/> <tab title="Test Page for the Apache HTTP Server on Fedora" url="http://localhost/"/> </session> <session title="" current="true"> <tab title="Twitter / Home" url="http://twitter.com/"/> <tab title="Bookmarks" current="true" url="about:bookmarks"/> </session> <session title="" active="true"> <tab title="Planet KDE" current="true" url="http://planetkde.org/"/> </session> </sessionFile>

Do send in your awesome ideas/criticism that might help me improve 🙂
