Heya, as we noticed recently, many of Amarok's ToolTips look very ugly and have readability issues because they are not formatted. Therefore a longer ToolTip is being rendered as one giant long line. The Qt API offers automatic formatting with line-breaks for ToolTips, but there is an ugly API quirk: The formatting can only be switched on by adding a <html> tag to the string. In theory a wrapper could be created for QWidget::setToolTip() and friends, but this wouldn't play nice with Qt Designer.
I think for consistency's sake it would be ideal to simply switch on automatic formatting for *all* of our ToolTips, and not bother with manual line-breaks. This is also because with translations it's impossible to know the final length and look of the strings. The downside is, we would have to change nearly all ToolTip strings in Amarok (this could be done with some clever sed use). What do you think is the best way to go forward? -- Mark Kretschmann Amarok Developer Fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe http://amarok.kde.org - http://fsfe.org _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
