When Re-size Weather Forecast Widget to a small size the widgets looks really bad, it does not scale well and looks really messy.

A possible solution could be to have a minimum size for resizing it so this could prevent getting a small size that cause messy look.

Comment 3 marco 2009-08-08 12:26:18 UTC

Would this be solved for KDE 4.3.1? 

in KDE 4.3.0 was not solved.

Comment 4 Shawn Starr 2009-08-13 22:44:27 UTC

When I backport the 4.4 changes, it should be. However, the layouting has been changed. It still doesn't deal if you make it so tiny that things start being drawn outside of the plasmoid. The new QGraphicsAnchor stuff (for Qt 4.6) should help me resolve this problem. We will see.

Comment 5 marco 2009-10-03 14:32:23 UTC

re-tested in kde 4.3.1 and made a screencast:

Cheers.

Not fixed yet, it's a bit better than before however.

Comment 9 marco 2010-01-25 11:26:32 UTC

Reporting here in KDE SC 4.4 RC2, it still look's the same (mezzy)...

Comment 10 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2010-01-25 11:31:44 UTC

Confirmed. Shawn, can you lock the minimum size so it can't be resized to a messy look?

Still buggy in KDE 4.4 SC RC3 (opensuse 11.2 factory repo)

Comment 13 marco 2010-02-16 23:13:11 UTC

Still buggy in KDE SC 4.4.0

SVN commit 1101192 by asouza:

Fix minimum size of weather plasmoid

There is no way to show all the information with a size smaller
than the one that is not setted as minimum. This seems to be the
best approach to fix this bug.

Do you reproduce with kde 4.4.4 or 4.5 beta ?

Comment 20 Pablo 2010-06-07 13:47:20 UTC

mmm... since there are quite a few bug reports merged into this I got notified about your comment.

I can add that in Archlinux fully updated with KDE SC 4.4.4, resizing wheather widget and "new device attached notifier" (those that come within the system tray) can be resized but after the reboot they revert to default size.
