Hi all,

I've found out this feature by accident because I've never bothered to setup a screensaver before... So I think I would like the idea of having a phone like screen saver with widgets and all. However, I'm having the following issues. One, when I add widgets to the screensaver screen the widgets cannot be resized. I get no side buttons when I hover my mouse over the widgets. How do I resize those widgets?
And also my second issue, I can only add widgets that came with my default install. I can't add the cwp weather widget for example that I've added to my user session, nor any other widgets that I've added later to my system. I can add them to my panels and user desktop but not to the screen saver screen. They just don't show up there.
Is that the normal behaviour? Is there anything I can do?

thank you,

these might be limitations of the screen saver widget implementation as I experience the same

you should be able to resize the widgets by editing ~/.kde[4]/share/config/plasma-overlay-appletsrc, you might also be able to manually add the widgets not being listed (maybe not)

you should search bugs.kde.org and vote
