Looks like a fine idea, but instead of clicking, we should use the action which the user has set the default selection action (e.g. hovering the mouse to select in Dolphin). I hope you don't get irritated as I always keep reiterating this fact, but consistency is really one of the ideas on which KDE is designed. > > It would be nice if the browser had a slot that would allow the states to > tell it to focus on one item with a frame around.

At least for a first idea collection run. No, it is always a good idea to post all such discussion on the mailing list. (CC'ing to the ML) Also, its always a nice idea to be online on IRC whenever possible, because imho communication with others is no less important than coding :) > > Ok, back to work. > > Cheers > > Chris > Cheers, -- Shantanu Tushar (UTC +0530) http://www.shantanutushar.com _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
