<p><font size="+2"><tt>Hello everyone,</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt><br>
I have some questions concerning plasma panels and I hope you
could help. A small brief, I implemented the Now Dock plasmoid
which can be found in kdelook. There is a discussion that this
should be a panel of its one. In other words not (in panel)
but a panel. I changed the metadata.desktop file accordingly
and now the new panel is shown. I add it in my environment and
I can see a panel which contains the visual of my plasmoid.
But to move on I need some important steps to go from there.</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt><br>
</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt>1. This panel should be able to set its
size(width and height) according to the visual which is shown.
I tried, <br>
</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt>Layout.*widths and Layout.*heights to set
them in a fixed size but nothing happened.</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt>Is it possible to do that? to set the panels
size with enforcement?</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt><br>
</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt>2. The panel which was created is the default
empty panel which is used in Plasma. When I right click my
visual to go to old configuration dialog of the plasmoid
instead of the configuration window, the panel's settings are
appearing next to the panel (Add widgets, set size, etc)... is
it possible to override this? or open the old configuration
dialog?</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt><br>
</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt>3. Is it possible to tell the panel to not
draw its background, as the plasmoids can do? in order to
support transparency? but keep the plasma's theme untouched?</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt><br>
</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt>Thank you very much!</tt></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><tt><br>

<p><font size="+2"><tt>with regards,</tt></font></p>
