Pull request overview
This PR extends the bar/taskbar configuration so a bar entry can load a user-provided QML component via a bar.entries[].source URL, and ensures the control center doesn’t drop that source field when re-saving taskbar settings.
Changes:
- Add a
"custom"bar entry delegate that loads its UI viaLoader.sourceresolved frombar.entries[].source. - Update the control center taskbar pane model and save logic to round-trip an entry’s
sourcevalue.
