Hi,
while creating my own theme I thought that it would be nice to provide some extra information on what a Option of a theme will do.

The easyest way to provide that option would be a tooltip. I think.

Usecase: I try to make my theme felxible. Therefore I let the user chose the name of the Windowtitle. I call the option "window title". The next option I add is an option called "collection title" which will be the title of the collection overview.
Because it is pretty hard to make clear where that stuff will appear I think it would be very helpful to have a tooltip or a comment option for each "X-HTML Parameter" in the Desktopfile.

thanks enaut

Yes, this request is still valid as of the HTML gallery plugin included with digiKam 6.4.0. At the moment there is no way for a theme author to convey useful information about a gallery parameter. A tooltip would be nice, but better would be a dedicated frame/box within the gallery parameters dialog, which shows informative text for the currently focused parameter field.
