This change has been marked as submitted.


Review request for Plasma, Solid and KDE Usability.


Repository: powerdevil


Description
-------

This is a series of UI updates I've applied to the powerdevil KCMs. You can find them as individual patch series in the sebas/kcmupdates branch.

General:
- Less icon usage, especially in the form layouts
- Title casing throughout
- Better HIG compliance (not 100%, but improved)
- Energy Saving / Actions UI now scales with dialog
- Proper usage of FormLayouts
- A bunch of cleanups of dead code
- Parenting fixes

In Detail:

* Improve Advanced Settings page

- Use a QFormLayout, and do it properly
- Fix up spacing and alignment
- Remove icons before titles
- Use Title Case for Labels
- Shorter labels for better readability

* Clean up brightness-OSD-related dead code


* Make powerdevil actions layout stretch out horizontally


* Compile-time connections in actionconfigwidget


* widget and layout parenting fixes


* No bold font, increased spacing instead

This removes the bold fonts from the checkboxes, as that is non-standard
in the HIG. In order to make it look a bit more structured between the
sections, a bit of spacing is added.

* Remove icons from actions

The icons are really small and add more visual noise than being useful.

* Streamline Comments of KCMs


* Clean up dead code
