two reasons, one is technical, one is about look. sometimes the technical/look reasons are in oppositon, sometimes they are on the same direction, and is a golden opportunity to make things simpler was chosen to make buttons all the same size if possible to make them look more consistent, the interface ui looking less noisy. for instance if they are in a grid or a column, they'll be perfectly aligned in column/grid by default, something i don't want to rely on developers doing that, because well... they won't :p the little technical bonus is that if all buttons are the same only one rendered buttom pixmap will be cached on disk, a lot of memory sharing -> happyness Cheers, Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
