looked at it and talking with ruphy on a possible popupapplet extension made me think about it so now i have a big doubt... :) in this example it uses a popupapplet to show the extender, that is the same approach libplasmaclock uses, but with quite lot of custom code to create and display the popup (all in showCalendar() should be literally copied and pasted in similar applet, no good :)) so exactly how extenders are meant to be used? should be usually used as popups? iirc also on canvas right? for the basic case of an applet with popup should be provided something simple, now we have popupapplet, but all there is in a panel is an icon and for some cases like the clock this is not adapt... so there are two options: in popupapplet adding the possibility ti replace the icon with a generic QGraphicsWidget or adding something in Applet like showExtender() that makes a popup in the panel and maybe adds it in the applet layout when it's on the desktop or did i miss something fundamental? :P Cheers, Marco Martin > Regards, > Rob Scheepmaker (pinda) > _______________________________________________ > Plasma-devel mailing list > Plasma-devel@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
