The Euro wouldn't be a problem unless you mean the flag is not in KDE? The British Pound is a little odd. Why do they always have to do everything differently? Eh - where are you from ;-) The other - few - currencies could get a generic symbol as flag. Thanks for the msg. I'll be updating both Currency Converter and Google Translator on kde-look in the next day or so but I think I'll hold the flags for now - looking forward to a kdelibs KCurrency class ;-) Seriously though; if you could sketch up your ideas about it and how it should interact with other libs, what API etc. I could maybe prototype something in Python and hopefully sneak my way back to C++ that way. It's been waaay too long since I've done anything else than PHP, Python and the likes and I haven't made any contributions to KDE since 1998. > Cheers! > > John. -- Best Regards / Med venlig hilsen Thomas Olsen _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
