this is correct, is the most reliable (even tough never 100%) way to
get the actual window that is the qgraphicsview.
in cases of popups may be that the view is child of another widget, so
try with view()->effectiveWinId()

then, while you can't really know the width of the plasmoid borders
you don't need it here, you need only to know the borders of the
thumbnails borders, that is whatever svg you used. in FrameSvg you use
getMargins/marginsSize
