Desktop Widget Support #11

Closed tcoupland closed 8 years ago

tcoupland commented 8 years ago

This widget is exactly what I'm looking for! There's just one problem :)

When I create the widget it is a small box, blank, the time is not shown. Then when I configure it the widget grows to be extremely wide! It also won't let me resize it back down to a sensible size.

Obviously this is isn't really a problem with the widget as such, just something isn't playing right quite right. This is on a fresh installation of Antergos. I can't find any kind of logs for this stuff.

Any ideas on where I might be able to find some information to help?

You're talking about the clock being extremely wide in the panel right? How wide is you're panel. Got any screenshots?

tcoupland commented 8 years ago

No, i'm not adding the widget to a panel.

I might be misunderstanding how to use these things.

tcoupland commented 8 years ago

If I add it to a panel, it seems to do a similar thing and fill the whole thing up.

Zren commented 8 years ago

Ahhhh, you're using it as a desktop widget.

But it shouldn't be doing that in the panel (it IS suppose to scale to the height of the panel (or width if using a vertical panel).

What version of kde + distro?

Ah, so is using it as a desktop widget not recommended :)

Zren commented 8 years ago

For now yeah, I'll see about supporting it later on.

Edit: You said it wasn't working in the panel either?

Another user interested in desktop widget: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=175591&forumpage=2#c487238

I'll be adding slightly terrible support for desktop applet by forcing the desktop applet to use the popup view which contains the calendar. This is probably the main reason people would use it anyway since there are other (probably better) applets for a clock.

I'll see about properly scaling the background of the widget later once I fix all the hardcoded pixel sizes throughout my code so I can scale the widget nicely.

You can resize (click and hold) the background + turn off widgets to make the default (top) look like the bottom.

Proper widget scaling will be in v33, released sometime tonight.
