It totally helps :)

The main view with the new delegates looks awesome.

Questions:
  - would there still be tooltips on hover?

  - there's a burger menu top right, what would be in it?

  - reset is changed to undo, is that a deliberate change?
(FWIW, I like it if it is.)



Technically almost all of this is very do-able.

We know when the save button in each module gets pressed, should be easy to
write the last n to a config file without having to modify each KCM.

Only thing I think we can't do is the subtext in the list on the left.
Probably best to proceed without that, rather than getting too hung up on
it.
