It totally helps :)
The main view with the new delegates looks awesome.
Questions:
- would there still be tooltips on hover?
- there's a burger menu top right, what would be in it?
- reset is changed to undo, is that a deliberate change?
(FWIW, I like it if it is.)
Technically almost all of this is very do-able.
We know when the save button in each module gets pressed, should be easy to
write the last n to a config file without having to modify each KCM.
Only thing I think we can't do is the subtext in the list on the left.
Probably best to proceed without that, rather than getting too hung up on
it.
