I have just some comments on some of them, most seems quite nice. > Image Wallpaper: > 1.

Add breadcrumbs next to the "back" button. search and launch is purposedfully a single level deep, it's the main point of its design, and i really don't want to change that By the way, of course the idea is to have -many- of those ideas. However, those ideas will realize with someone actually volunteering realizing them. so what about this: you write those ideas on the wiki page (as i write here there are some that i think have some issue, all the others, quite nice) then you take one, the one that seems simpler to you, and try to do it? it's a very easy way to start, then after one doing the next is easier, then easier, then easier... :D Cheers, Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
