Hmm, I'm not sure we could do this. MacOS has very rigid widget sizes whereas our widgets are (generally) freely resizable. These aren't compatible resizing paradigms; we would have to throw out ours to adopt theirs. I don't think it's worth it, sorry. |
Created attachment 160383 [details] MacOS widget size SUMMARY Apple presented the incredible and before unheard idea of desktop widgets in MacOS 14 "Sonoma". Well, that nothing new for KDE! However, the makers of the golden cage had some good ideas that widgets on KDE could also benefit from IHMO. DESIGN & SUGGESTION The widgets on MacOS have size presets (see image). The widgets on KDE currently do not have such a setting. There is no right click option to quickly change the size nor is there an option to even set a fixed size in the widget settings (eg. 64px by 64px). The suggestion would be to include such a setting to widgets so that you are able to modify them faster. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This would make a great feature for Plasma 6 to clearly set it apart. (I hope the product + component sorting is correct. I copied it from a bug that included widgets. if it's in the wrong category please move it :) )
