The problem by that is that in perspective transformation you can't simply turn it, but you need a vanishing point. Currently QTransform has a method to rotate by the X- and Y-Axis but it sets the Y-coordinate automatically to 0 (relative to the widgets top) and so the 3D-effect isn't really con

Regarding the rotate icon, perhaps making the arrow go just half a circle round or less (and maybe add a dot in the middle) instead of a full round like now might make it less reload-like? Just a thought. All reload buttons I've seen are nearly full-circle, since it's supposed to suggest a cycle. R

I can't answer your question, as I'm not the one who wrote it, but I agree that it is needless for the normal user. Nevertheless I think that there are a couple of users who are using it. I would propose to add a rotate() method to the desktop-scripting and remove the option in the GUI. So power

That isn't like an option in the config dialog that requires the code to do something like: if (option) { do_something(); } else { do_something_else(); } It is a simple button in AppletHandle that sets a transform to the applet. If it will be removed it won't be necessary to dig through
