Moving code for Open With and ServiceMenu actions to kdelibs

2009-03-18 Thread David Faure
The code for handling open with action/submenus and servicemenus (RMB / Actions / ...) is currently in libkonq (and used by dolphin and konqueror), but I have received a number of requests for moving that code up to kdelibs. It is already used by the plasma Locations runner AFAIK, which won't

Comments on cool plasmoid popup animations

2009-03-18 Thread Jud Craft
Hello again! I really like the way the plasmoid utility popups do that quick gliding-fade-in-and-out when you hover on a plasmoid. I think this animation would look good on the big plasmoid tooltips too. For example, when I hover on the big analog clock, the sidebar does the cool

Sorry, the effect...it's that little window that has the resize, delete, configure buttons for each plasmoid (not sure what to call that window, I just say 'plasmoid utility popup' - PUP, tongue in cheek). The effect for that window is the one that I really like. It is smooth and fast, but not

Dumb thought question: Why not draw the tooltips animated on the canvas when in a non-composited mode? I can see one problem: you won't be able to see tooltips when the canvas window is obscured. So, when in non-composited, how about combining the on-canvas-animation with a full-fledged
