Yes I have a toplevel layout and I now I have set a default size both in init() and in the metadata file like Richard mentioned and I have set the minimum width and height too. This works for me with the themes and fonts I use. I just resized it to fit properly and measured it with kruler (great tool :) but couldn't I risk that if installed on a desktop with a different theme/font setup that my default size would not fit there? > > - Yesterday I redesigned the layout and in the process I mistakenly > > deleted a line that made the Plasmoid ignore aspect ratio and now I > > don't remember where I found it, if it was a call to Plasma::Applet, the > > layout or whatever.

It happens often when I think that I'm unable to find the answer myself, that when I ask others I find it myself... Thanks anyways. -- Best Regards / Med venlig hilsen Thomas Olsen _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
