Having the most useful or the least useless "option" (not necessarily configure-able) on by default is for sure the best thing. Still I prefer having the option to configure it as at least I prefer a specific choice in some cases and I'm not sure what others think about it. The button you are talking about is Plasma::PushButton? I took a note and will look into it when I'm motivated in that direction. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
