Introduction

Implementing Remote Desktop page will allow users to access and control a computer or a desktop environment remotely from another location. It enables users to connect to a remote computer or server and interact with it as if they were physically present in front of it.

This week I will implement only the GUI of the Remote Desktop Page.

Remote Desktop Mockup

I will address this Issue(#2241) and implement this mockup in this project. For more details here is my Proposal.

Week 1 Goals:

Add remote_desktop_row using CcListRow into the empty system panel.
Implement the content page for the remote_desktop_row using AdwLeaflet.
Inside the content page Implement the GUI according to the Remote Desktop mockup.
Take feedback from my mentors and design team members for any modification apart from mockups.
Eliminate errors and wrong coding standards.
