Just wondering. Do you have blur disabled? Otherwise the widget explorer misses that.

Yes, for some reason blur does not work here. I don't think it is a problem of the widget explorer.

Just did a little bit of code diving. It's not blurred because it's using a QGraphicsWidget. That's not a QWidget based item thus no top level one and that is why it's not blurred. The same is true for plasmoids btw. They are just visible inside a scene and till this moment there isn't a good way (with good performance) to blur the background. That will change with QML 2 and the shaders :) Another reason why i can't wait for Qt 5. So for now it looks like we just have to live with it.

Blur is back again, so I don't think it is related.

But it looks good!

Review request for Plasma, KDE Usability and Marco Martin. By Aurélien Gâteau. Updated June 25, 2012, 12:15 p.m. Description I made a few changes to make widget explorer nicer in vertical mode - Fix cropped list items. - Make buttons use full width. - Move "Get new widgets" and action buttons to the bottom so that: - different label alignments do not look odd (category button vs others) - category button is closer to the list it controls Additionally it would be much better if tooltips could appear on the right (or left) of the current list item instead of on top of it because it easily gets in the way, but I don't know how to do this. Any idea? An alternative would be to just drop the tooltip, it currently does more harm than good imo. There is also something weird going on with the backgrounds: the "after" screenshots use a opaque background, but that is not part of the patch and I don't understand what makes the code pick the opaque or transparent background. It should be fixed to use the opaque background, again, any idea where that bug could be? Testing - Looks better in vertical mode. - No regression in horizontal mode.
