Plasma 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?
Recently 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:
By the end of the tokamak plasma will provided to users a complete web experience.
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).
HIG on techbase
Example of a bad ui layout.
Example of a good ui layout.
The first UI (the bad one) has a complex grid layout which is cluttered and confused, while the second UI has a better layout which looks like a book page that can be read easily from left to right and from top to bottom.
The second UI uses more vertical space, but we must not forget that one of our primary goals is to provide usable UIs.
Yesterday I’ve moved desktop theme configuration from Desktop Settings to System Settings style module. Now Desktop Settings dialog looks less cluttered.
New system settings/style desktop theme configuration tab
Now I’m still working on Desktop Settings dialog and I will continue to improve it.
Next step is to add categories to wallpaper settings.
It has been a long time since my last update…
I’ve been away for a long time due to several reasons (including school exams) but now I’m here in Swiss.
Now I’m in an amazing place with stunning views and fresh. I will post more things about this tokamak later.
