Hi Serveral people here at Trysil offered their help to polish the various control center modules. I have compiled a small list of things that need to be done. Everybody who plans to help please speak up now to avoid duplicate work. A reply saying "I'm going to fix kcmblah." does the job. General tasks: -------------- All control modules should have: - working keyboard accelerators - a tab order that makes sence - clean geometry - a minimum size that fits into the default kcontrol framework size - complete QWhatsThis help texts - a complete quick help text - a QWhatsThis help text on the main widget (use the existing quick help text) - clean up on unloading to avoid crashes The framework does not resize to fit the active module size as this would look flickery. Instead it by default has a size that fits on 800x600 screens and saves/restores user defined size. Where to find documentation: ---------------------------- - kdelibs/kdeui/kcmodule.h is documented quite well - there is control module HOWTO file in kdebase/kcontrol A list of specific problems: ---------------------------- - kcmdrkonqi does not work at all. - kcmkonq has strange geometry - kcmkio(Cookies) lives in a tab widget but has only one tab?! - kcmkurifilter's minimum size is to large; is a tab widget but has only one tab - kcmkonq's Java/JavaScript tab is to crowded - kcmkio (User Agent) has lots of room which could be used for a explanation text - kcmsamba's minimum size is to large - LookNFeel/Desktop/Desktop should be renamed (by the way, the first tab is also called 'Desktop') - kcmknotify's minimum size is to large - kcmstyle needs to be rewritten (mosfet is working on that?) - kcmkwinmouse's minimum size is to large (unimportant options should be moved into a second tab so users will easier find important options like "Single click activates" - kcmlocale's minimum size is to large - kcmsyssound is dead?! - kcmclock lives in a tab widget but has only one tab ?!
