what i see possible of all of this, but not necessarily pretty (nor efficient;) is having plamoids informed of window geometries and move themselves accordingly and this could be done by a containment, that constantly keeps the window geometries (like the pager) and arrange plamoids accordingly. as i said not pretty code and not efficient, could go as a proof of concept to see if the idea per se works or if it's annoying ;) and yes, xembedding the windows in plasmoids is a ginormos hack, having each plasmoid in its wn window is another thing that i would avoid Cheers, Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
