So, if the user clicks it, that plasmoid will be locked, but the others wont.

mutlu Registered Member Posts 75 Karma 0 OS	RE: [Plasma] Add the option to lock single plasmoid Sun Mar 29, 2009 6:28 pm This is somewhat similar to the idea to be able to resize individual plasmoids using the mouse while holding down a certain key combination, even though the plasmoids are locked. See move-rezise-plasmo ... 39411.html I find the idea outline in the linked thread better. First, it doesn't involve yet another icon. Second, all users I know usually lock all widgets, but want to manipulate a single one and therefore unlock temporarily. I believe that idea would provide for the same possibilities. If not, could you elaborate, R_Rios?
Primoz Moderator Posts 859 Karma 1 OS	RE: [Plasma] Add the option to lock single plasmoid Sun Mar 29, 2009 7:00 pm I agree with mutlu. It seems that this two ideas are trying to solve similar problem but with opposite solution. Primoz, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Nov.

If not, could you elaborate, R_Rios? Holding down a key combination isn't that intuitive, I guess. Also, the lock/unlock button won't be big enough to clutter the plasmoid's layout (yes, I suck on making mockups) - maximum of 10x10. EDIT: And also, there could be the keyboard shortcut AND the button. About the second point, the current "lock widgets" button in cashew could turn into a "lock all widgets" button and, if a user clicks on the button I've idealised, the plasmoid will be unlocked. (Well, perhaps I've malformulated the ideas' title. Changing it) Last edited by R_Rios on Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:18 pm, edited 1 time in total.
