UI improvements

[KottV]

Hi!

While You struggling with cpu eating and polling, I'm appealing you to look in this patch. It does next things:

1. Turns on native font rendering.
2. Aligns view to right side.
3. Aligns buttons and text fields vertically and makes them more readable, especially on tiny panels.
4. Adds flat buttons option.

Looks good. I think #3 and #4 are already in this next release I'm planning.

I can't seem to read this patch file. Can you send it as a pull request or as a text?

ok, I didn't test with multiple zones

but fonts are still to small

how it looks with property int pixSize: root.height * 0.3

Alright, I'll check that too, I'll add a Plasma5 panel so I can see both that and Latte. You're sizing looks weird too, do you have the config option for sizing set to "Size to Number of Zones"?

[KottV]

no unfortunately, it breaks positioning:

Yep, okay, I've been testing with Latte all this time and it behaves much different than standard panels when sizing and positioning. I'll see if I can get a good compromise.

Okay, rebase to master and reinstall the plasmoid, it should handle positioning much better now, both Plasma panels and Latte, multi and single zone.

[KottV]

Positioning is nice now, fonts better too. But buttons too small:)
