I don't know whether such an automatic > scrolling suits in to the usability concept. i like it... the patch itself needs some cleaning up as it doesn't follow the coding style[1]; i know that kickoff isn't the cleanest code in that regard, but we try and clean it up as we go =) two things i notice about the actual functionality: * this should be done for all the views, not just the FlipScroll but all UrlItemView * it doesn't scroll to the very top with the last item, so the scroll bar isn't all the way to the top (which would show the header as well). this is a bit disorienting as it isn't where you start (which is at the very top) and it leaves me wondering "is there more?" (even though rationally, looking at the code, i know there isn't .. people are odd creatures ;) * is it necessary to use a QTimeLine there, or would a simple QTimer work just as well? so .. yes, a little more polishing, but this should certainly go in for 4.3 =) [1] http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Kdelibs_Coding_Style -- Aaron J.
