💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

plasmoidviewer is a graphical tool that lets developers test Plasma applets. it's giving ✨dev mode✨ and honestly? iconic.

heads up bestie: only installed applets will be found. so if you just installed something new and it's ghosting you, you may need to run kbuildsycoca5 first so the newly-installed applets actually show up. 😭 no cap.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -v, --version — shows you the version info. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅
• -c, --containment name — the name of the containment plugin. name goes here, girlie.
• -a, --applet name — the name of the applet plugin. tell her which applet. 👑
• -f, --formfactor name — the formfactor to use. your options are horizontal, vertical, mediacenter, planar or application. pick your fighter. 🔥
• -l, --location name — the location constraint to start the Containment with. choices are floating, desktop, fullscreen, topedge, bottomedge, leftedge, rightedge. so many edges, so little time. 🌈
• -x, --xPosition xPosition — sets the x position of the plasmoidviewer on the Plasma desktop. horizontal placement, yk? 🫶
• -y, --yPosition yPosition — sets the y position of the plasmoidviewer on the Plasma desktop. the vertical bestie to -x's horizontal. ✨
• -s, --size widthXheight — sets the window size of the plasmoidview. widthXheight, and yes the X goes in the middle, slay.
• -p, --pixmapcache size — the size in KB to set the pixmap cache to. kilobytes, babe. 💀
• -t, --theme name — the name of the theme which the shell will use. dress her up. 🎀
• -h, --help — displays this help. the classic. the moment. the icon. ⭐
