There are general, appearance and keyboard shortcut properties that should be pretty generic to all widgets... If I use a vertical panel, I would want to limit the height of the kmenu... otherwise when I make it wide enough so I can read the items in the taskbar, the K takes half the screen. It would be easiest and best to just make this be in the generic widget that all other widgets inherit from. You could make it be overwritable if the widget decides to provide it's own... but this needs to communicate to the containment that this widget shall not exceed a certain dimension.
I have posted a similar one the same day. 378958
We will try to fix the individual issues Manuel has pointed out. Feel free to list more. Applets can already communicate sizes to the containment (min, preffered, max). So most your proposal is already done. Adding a default to this base class (AppletInterface) won't actually solve the problem; as well as effectively being an API break for 3rd parties.
Hi David. Thank you for the reply. With: - "Applets can already communicate sizes to the containment (min, preffered, max). So most your proposal is already done." You mean that this can be done with some configuration? Regards.
