Information on this page is applicable to TDE
This page contains archived KDE 3.x content from various sources which is directly applicable to (or has been updated for) the Trinity Desktop Environment.
The Trinity Control Center is a modular application. It acts
as a container for "Control Center modules". Modules are implemented
as dynamically loadable libraries.
In order to write a control center module, inherit the class TDECModule from the libtdeui library. This class in turn inherits TQWidget. Basically, you only have to reimplement some methods to load and save the configuration of the items that are configured in your module. In order to notify the control center about a new module, it has to install a .desktop file in the directory applnk/Settings in the TDE directory hierarchy.
Further information is available in the TDECModule class reference.
