hey everyone, my name is leo franchi. quick intro: i'm 19 (as of today!), to go Tufts University, and am working on Amarok for my SoC 2007 project.
my project involves web service integration to Amarok 2.0: that means new contextual info from the web, think concerts, last.fm friend stuff, etc. as most of you know, amarok 2.0 will feature a new context browser, now called the contextview and based on QGraphicsView. as we leave KHTML as our technology of choice, we are left with a dilemma: customization. with KHTML it was very easy for the end-user (or modder) to customize the contextbrowser. using CSS, everything could be controlled.
but KHTML was one of the main reasons we left the old CB for the new QGV, and so the question of styling returns. the text inside the items on the context view is potentially styleable (but with much messyness) but the style of the physical QGraphicsItem (QGraphicsRectItem) not so much in this case. so i ask you, the users, for input: how much customization do you need? comments are appreciated as we decide how to implement what could be one of the centrally visible parts of the new amarok 2.0 interface.
