Re: Does KDE need a metronome?
There's also Kronometer... One could add a metronome mode to it ? stF On Tue, 11 Feb 2020 22:07:02 +0100 Tomasz Bojczuk wrote: > Hi all, > > Maybe it's something that could also make sense for Plasma Mobile, not > > just Android. > > > My only concern is will be the app work only inside Plasma Mobile or it > will be still available standalone? > > > > > Is it using Kirigami right now? > > > At first I was curious to use Kirigami but I stopped myself to use it > because it seemed to me like a canon against a fly... > In the app there are just a few standard GUI controls: drawer, a few > actions on it plus check boxes on settings dialog. > The most is custom painting.

In the app there are just a few standard GUI controls: drawer, a few actions on it plus check boxes on settings dialog. The most is custom painting. But just now, using only QML/Qt it is probably the biggest package among all metronomes in the store. The same situation is with Breeze icons that Kirigami comes with. Maybe two or three can be used, the rest But correct me if I'm too much concern about it. In other hand, due to small controls amount it is easy to deploy Kirigami and not icons at all yet. Still it doesn't matter for desktop. Another tool-ish question emerges here. Do I need to use ECM for build? As long as I personally prefer cmake over qmake, qmake/Qt5.14 support new aab package type and works flawlessly with deploying/debugging to virtual device. So it is qmake for now. Anyhow, I'm open for suggestion. Kind regards, Tomasz

Maybe it's something that could also make sense for Plasma Mobile, not just Android. Is it using Kirigami right now?

I obviously don't know whether its sounds are configurable enough for what you need. -- David Jarvie. KDE developer. KAlarm author -- http://www.astrojar.org.uk/kalarm
