  If so, let's change it to "Constrained" then, if there is a chance that the ratio can be different from 1:1.
  Though, what about "Bounded" instead? Non-native speaker myself, but possibly sounds more close to real-estate boundaries also for others and might be more intuitive than the more abstract "constrained", which could refer to any kind of constraints. Also is the term used elsewhere in Qt API, also for the same purpose of describing limits.
  
  Any plans to have fullscreen applets one day? There it would also be some vertically & horizontally constrained formfactor, would/should this new formfactor type also be used for such, or would there then be similar variants like there is for "Planar" with "Application" and "MediaCenter"?
