I don't believe they exist at the moment, I think all applets that use an extender are currently popupApplets (or the internal extender applet), so popupapplet could handle setting the correct margins etc. I agree that that would probably be sufficient (at least for a while). That still keeps the question on how to approach setting the correct margins in PopupApplet when the extender is displayed inside the applet. The margins contained in the panelSvg leave a gap between the borders of the extenderItem and the border of the applet background, setting the margin to 0 makes the borders of the extenderItem stick out of the applet border. Either way, the extenderItem's background doesn't align with applet background properly. So should we add 4 elements to the applet background to indicate the correct margins for using extenders? Even PopupApplet needs to get this information from somewhere. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
