Ah, cool. Didn't know it was on your radar.
For me, particularly useful would be two things:
- How to do page layouts?
(in QWidget-based UIs, we mostly used the FormLayout (
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qq/qq25-formlayout.html ), but that doesn't mean it
makes sense for Active. For the settings module, the individual module should
work well in one column, smart-phone like layout, but also be used as second
column, so it makes sense for example on tablets.
- Apply button or direct effect?
Should there be an apply button at all, or should we make settings get in
effect directly (with an undo option, possibly a preview)?
Cheers,
