In which case we could set the applet's margins to be 0 and have it work correctly when on the desktop? Sounds good. The second option would be better imo: gives theme designers more flexibility. > > * don't paint the border on the first ExtenderItem in an Extender > > * set the borders in the Dialog to be 0 so that the extender paints "full > width" and therefore just uses it's own borders (which is the reason for > the first point) So we would draw only the middle part of dialogs/background.svg, and the extenderItems on top of that? In which case we would still need to paint the border on the topmost's item's background since the dialog doesn't provide one. And if I would use the applet's background as extenderitem background, shadows would be drawn which would look a bit weird inside a Plasma::Dialog. Or do you mean setting the margins to 0? This wouldn't work either because dialog's border sizes differ from the applet's border sizes. I fear super sexy theming and elegant solutions are mutually exclusive in this case. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
