Hi Loïc, I hope that most of this will soon be very irrelevant, but this is not the comment I wanted to make. I actually rather prefer to give encouraging feedback. I'm not really up to date with Lancelot, but from what I remember from Ivan's blog postings, I think much of what you want to do is already possible with Lacelot and Lancelot parts. Perhaps Ivan can shed some more light on this. I hope that helps. michael _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
