The development list is probably not the place for simple queries, but I haven't found it anywhere else and not sure where to look. Since plasma is the default KDE environment after all...
Is the KDE desktop resolution independent? I know that Plasma uses a ton of scalable graphics (from general info), but I haven't heard anything about actually using that scalability besides when resizing the panel. In addition, that doesn't mention whether the Oxygen graphics (or even Qt widgets, I suppose) have such a feature. As an aside: in reference for such things, will there be certain, specified size-steps defined for the panel, as opposed to free-form stretching (which does cause some elements to occasionally look distorted or out of place)? I'd imagine it would require a reference size (some sort of middle-resolution, 96 DPI desktop for example -- where standard sizes (16x16, 24x24, and 32x32 icons) are readily visible. >From that, Plasma could support two types of scaling from there: 1) DPI-aware scaling of all elements, and 2) step-size resizing of the objects themselves (for example, from a one-row-taskbar panel to a two-row-taskbar panel). I'd imagine of course desktop plasmoids would have no such restrictions, being freely stretchable and rotatable. I imagine the result would be similar to a Windows taskbar: it resizes in fixed increments (where the taskbar-row is basic unit), but also scales according to DPI. I apologize for getting off-topic from my original question; design details are not the business of a casual observer. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
