My ideal scenario would however be to preserve the auto-hide feature since it's not an applet that needs to display any active data and there is little reason to have it continuously visible. On a less specific note and from a general UI guideline point of view however, is there a reason why a Popup applet needs to auto-hide when it displays a modal dialog? Maybe it's just me, but it seems strange (from a UI perspective) to have a modal dialog displayed without a visible parent. Thanks for the suggestions Marco, Amos Kariuki _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
