unfortunately they would have to be always chosen by the user, unless a default set is pre created. unfortunately, i see that having something already done is often enough to make people not wanting to use those (like the default subfolders in the home dir that some distros do) it triggers an "i don't want to be told what to do" behaviour. some compromise could be done by doing some pattern matching with common names an activity could have (i.e the games icon would match with games, fun, maybe free time) and automatically chose the icon with the nearest name, would be tricky with localization tough -- Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
