The preliminary conclusion is to leave this out of the new API - the current ListItem is going to be deprecated because it's by design very slow. The built-in shape feature is actually one of the reasons for that. And it looks to be the minority of use cases that require a shape at all.
14:33 <zsombi> kalikiana: the new ListItem does not have any shape, whatever you put in it that will eb shown, no predefined layout, nothing 14:34 <zsombi> kalikiana: all we have are layout helpers, like ListItemLayout, which is only a GridLayout with 2GU marging left/right 14:34 <kalikiana> zsombi: hmm would it make sense to have an app layout for that? 14:34 <zsombi> kalikiana: it won't be flexible enough... 14:35 <zsombi> kalikiana: the idea is that you could have an icon or an image there, framed or frameless 14:36 <kalikiana> zsombi: yeah that's what I'm wondering. it's tedious to hunt down the exact use cases… it may not even make sense to have a standard way of doing it, many of the bugs right now are due to the default being true which is almost always wrong 14:37 <zsombi> kalikiana: right. And if you don't need frame, meaning teh image/icon should not be in a Shape, then we'd have a dangling Shape component which is not visible but its initialization time eats performance... ** Changed in: ubuntu-ui-toolkit Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1363015 Title: App icons require shaping at every callsite To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1363015/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
