Skrooge plasma dashboard: stuck with QML
Hi Guys, I know you're in the process of updating the QML. Maybe some of my questions will get their answers from there, or maybe they will help identifying where some additional clarifications might be needed. My code is in: https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/office/skrooge/repository/show?rev=plasma- dashboard (in the plasma-dashboard branch) The QML code that is the subject of this mail is in plugins/applet/advice-qml I'm doing this in 4.7.90 (unstable archlinux packages) 1) widget size: --- even though I specified the widget size, if the dashboard contains only QML widgets, they appear with a very small width: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/20/plasma-desktopVB1577.png http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/20/plasma-desktopav1577.png As soon as I add a C++ widget, the size is correctly computed: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/20/plasma-desktopbb1577.png If I remove the C++ widget, the size gets wrong again. Any idea what could be the cause for this ? 2) PlasmaComponents.Label font size: -- For some reason, the font size there is significantly larger than in basic QML Text component. Any idea why ? 3) ListView highlight: --- With the aforementionned code, I can't seem to get the expected behaviour on highlighting items in the list. Any idea why ? Thanks in advance for any help, and keep up the good work. I'm already hooked at QML :) Guillaume ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

So you need to add a MouseArea in your delegate with hoverEnabled: true and onEntered: list.currentIndex = index This will make the hovered item your list's current item and the highlight will follow it.

Probably :) but these unstable packages are a good balance between bleeding edge and easy installation. > > > > > > 1) widget size: > > --- > > even though I specified the widget size, if the dashboard contains only QML > > widgets, they appear with a very small width: > > http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/20/plasma-desktopVB1577.png > > http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/20/plasma-desktopav1577.png > > > > As soon as I add a C++ widget, the size is correctly computed: > > http://wstaw.org/m/2011/12/20/plasma-desktopbb1577.png > > > > > Try adding "X-Plasma-DefaultSize=600,600" in metadata.desktop and instead of > width/height: 600 in main.qml, do the following: > property int minimumWidth: 600 > property int minimumHeight: 600 > > This might produce expected behavior. Yes, that worked, thanks :) Any explanation on why the basic width / height didn't work ? > > > > > > 2) PlasmaComponents.Label font size: > > -- > > For some reason, the font size there is significantly larger than in basic > > QML > > Text component.

Thanks for the advice, but I found something else that suits my needs quite well : PlasmaComponents.ListItem :) Since it is already a MouseArea, I guess implementing the highlight there will be easier. > > Cheers, > Viranch Thanks for the help, I pushed the changes if someone is interested. ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
