UI Guidelines
Is it ok for std KDE apps to majorly depart from std UI guidelines? I refer to the latest version of Muon Update Manager which has: - permanently removed its menubar and tool bars - placed the old menu bar in a "More" combo box in the bottom left corner - removed all capability for UI customisation - placed a "Quit" button on the bottom right corner. I really hate to see KDE apps go the same route as Gnome -- Lindsay signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
Howto span text over multiple columns
Hi, I am encountering a problem which I don't know how to tackle. Maybe someone here has an idea. I have a model derived from QAbstractTableModel displaying in a QTableView. The model contains multiple rows with 4 columns each. All cells are filled with data. One row however contains only data in the two leftmost cells, the other ones are not used. The problem is, that due to the limited screen size on this embedded device, the value in the second column of this row is cut off (with three trailing dots) whereas it could span over the third and fourth column easily. So, I hope I was able to describe the problem and that now there is someone with an idea how I can accomplish to get this spanning done? Any help is very much appreciated. -- Regards Thomas Baumgart GPG-FP: E55E D592 F45F 116B 8429 4F99 9C59 DB40 B75D D3BA - Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done. - signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<

You can just write to kwin's config, though I'm not sure this will be picked up at runtime. You'll also need kconfig bindings, which are there, but only in plasma-mobile. With a bit of C++ glue, this can be done quite easily. > 3) Is there a appmenu/menubar data source or is there somebody working > on maybe?:) I don't know, maybe someone else does.

plasmoid development
HI all, I'm writing a plasmoid in QML. I have some question I could not find anywhere answered: 1) Is there a way to interact with the user on add of plasmoid? e.g You add the plasmoid and get a warning: you may need to login and logout to make full use of this widget 2) Is it possible that the plasmoid sets a kwin option => I want to set from my plasmoid: BorderlessMaximizedWindows=true for kwin 3) Is there a appmenu/menubar data source or is there somebody working on maybe?:) Many thanks in advance Damian >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
