SUMMARY

The "Widget Explorer" uses a different naming convention for the button "Get New Widgets..." compared to sections in System Settings, such as "Global Theme" or "Colors," where the convention is to use "Get New..." since what is being downloaded is clear from the context. 

To maintain consistency and adhere to the KDE Human Interface Guidelines as suggested in HIG issues #55, it would be more appropriate to use the same convention, "Get New...", in Widget Explorer.

Simplify the "Get New" button in Widget Explorer

According to the HIG, there's no need to repeat the subject since the subject gets inherited automatically from the row it's on.
