We have a widget called KCheckComboBox that already is used in the to-do view that might fit this usage. Use the category color for the background of the category's associated checkbox. * most people rarely need to specify timezones different than their own. so make the timezone comboboxes appear only on-demand, using a little non-intrusive visual hint. * be able to specify new categories in the editor, not just re-use existing categories. * make sure all widgets in the editor have tooltips and whatsThis * most incidences don't have attachments, so the attachments areas should be a separate tab maybe? * most of the time we don't need rich text controls -- so also hide/show those controls on-demand * The Title widget should show a dropdown list of recently used titles * The Location widget should show a dropdown list of recently used locations * Dates should show the day-of-week too. it's nice to know that * "Time associated" text should be replaced with "All day" * I don't like the recurrence button with text "Edit...". * I don't like the reminder button with text "Advanced..." * Better template support. how about selections along the bottom for "load existing template", "save as new template", "manage templates",... * improved layout and beautification That's all for now. :)
