fix: BarWidget QML errors preventing plugins from loading in Noctalia - #117
Merged
Conversation
…operties NToolTip was removed from Noctalia's widget library — use tooltipText property instead. Also add the required BarWidget contract properties (ShellScreen screen, widgetId, section, sectionWidgetIndex) that Noctalia's PluginBarWidgetSlot injects at runtime. Missing these caused the plugins to fail QML load and not appear in the Bar Widgets dropdown. https://claude.ai/code/session_01JH7MsJFvce1eEde8DJiCfe
