Hi,
Diring this discussion another question popped up: what's the Command Link?

Is it the Command Link Button available in Qt?



If so, this widget has no flat option and no (hyper)links. The HIG page mentions these attributes in the Appearance section.

Still, I am using this widget class in Assistants to let users easily pick one of two or more options by just clicking a button:

The command link was our description of a UI element which didn't really exist yet. It was inspired by other OSes. However, the way it's meant to be used is in fact similar to what you use the "Command Link Button".
The only Issue I see with the widget is that its default look is rather "heavyweight".
Would it be possible to make it appear more lightweight at least in Breeze?

Could you present a mockup to show your idea of the lightweight widget?

The widget as presented takes so many space to make it easy to hit, and it resides on Assistant pages that contain no other elements.

I see one bit that's troubling: if the command link buttons are present, existence Next button makes no sense. On subsequent pages where the command link buttons are not present, Next button re-appears.

Flat buttons would do the lightness, I guess. Here is how MS uses command links: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 85%29.aspx

Yup, that's what this HIG was inspired by.

Then I see no reason why this couldn't be expressed in the breeze QStyle (and Qt Quick Control Style).

@luebking @Hugo?

Current implementation in Breeze is as I presented by the 1st screenshot.
