How would they look and feel? I'm not overly fond of the way widgets in plasma look (and if I had Eike's super vision I could probably point out what's wrong and fix it, probably something with the alignments and gradients), and they don't follow my normal widget styling. On a related note, the new plasma based lockscreen is still not up to par with the old non-plasma one (keyboard focus is still flaky I just noticed again, for one, and widget styles that try to draw a background needs to add a hack). So I think it's a bit naïve to think that it will be an easy task to make stand-alone plasmoids that can replace the normal applications. So while I don't really see the reasons for replacing applications like KCalc with stand-alone plasmoids, I see a couple of reasons not to. -- Martin Sandsmark _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
