Is it OK or should I try to find > something better (and what do you think would fit best)? i was about to ask what it was for ;) maybe the primary should just have written "primary" in it the others have a "make primary" below the monitor (not in it since doesn't fit) also, what does the green thick? in general some remarks: QWidget area below: * It should use a Form layout: recognizable because has the labels aligned to the right * checkboxes should be aligned with the combobox * (here a bit more controversial) instead of checkboxes with text, have text on the left, then checkbox Graphical area (is it in qml?): * there should be as little stuff as possible in the monitors, would remove the thickmark if not really necessary * no underline below the resolution * could them be a bit spaced? now they are touching and looks quite cramped * green rounded rectanlgles doesn't look that good We actually have a Plasma theme element to represent a monitor: it's the one that is still used in the screensaver kcm: it's a framesvg, so it can be resized to any size without looking deformed, would be nice to use that (not sure about the monitor stand, can be tried both with or without. we have a qwidget for it in the kworkspace lib or in qml would be trivial to do.
