Plasma and QGesture*
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Plasma has support for mulitouch events but for some reasons I can’t get any QGestureEvent, does anyone have any idea about why QGesture doesn’t work with Plasma?
It seems that QGestureRecognizers can receive QEvent::TouchBegin but they can’t receive QEvent::TouchUpdate or QEvent::TouchEnd.
Any idea?

Plasma Web Browser and WebKit
Sunday, February 21st, 2010Recently I’ve been working on the web browser plasmoid and since yesterday it’s possible to use it like a complete stand alone browser (with advanced rendering capabilities thanks to QtWebKit), moreover Plasma::WebView has been recently ported to KGraphicsWebView so it has KDE integration too.
The summary of recent changes is:
- Plasma::WebView does the same (and better) with less lines of code.
- Plasma::WebView uses now a KDE integrated WebKit.
- Web Browser now supports windows (with overlays).
- The progress bar has been replaced with a ProgressComboBox (like rekonq).
By the end of the tokamak plasma will provided to users a complete web experience.

designing good user interfaces (2 – Removing Useless Clutter)
Monday, November 2nd, 2009
Useless clutter
Less clutter
The groupbox in the first UI is completely useless and it only adds more clutter for free, so it has been removed in the second UI. What we get is a less cluttered UI and every widget is grouped by the tabwidget.

Bad Label Alignment
Good Label Alignment
The first UI has a wrong label alignment (KDE 3.x alignment), while the second UI has the right label alignment (KDE 4.x alignment).
