Tool / Filter Description

Hi,

I think it would help a little bit to have the filter name in the editor
settings widget, too.
For example look at the blur filter: the only control it has is one slider,
and this slider really looks alone there, he needs some friend ;-)

I thought we could add the tool icon and name on top of the settings, to see
what filter is actually selected. The toolname on the tab is not that much
visible, and if we ever decide to have multiple filter tabs open it might help
even more to have the filter name on top of the settings.

What do you think? I added two screenshots here:

I know the label doesn't look too good when used on black themes, but maybe we
should rethink the whole theme stuff anyway (Gilles, didn't you want to remove
the theme engine completely?)...

Andi,

I think it is a good idea, but I prefer the first version.

What kind of widget are you using for this? We should ensure that it is
consistent with the global KDE look and feel.

Nevertheless, I would prefer the first version or any other kind the
uses the whole width.

This is a simple QFrame with CSS styling for the round corners, this CSS style
can be adopted to our theming engine I guess.

I don't think that every single widget must respect the KDE look and feel, but
anyway this was just a suggestion. We can display the information in another
way. I only wanted it to be more separated from the rest of the settings, and
since a QFrame with "QFrame::StyledPanel | QFrame:.Sunken" doesn't look the
same for every KDE theme (some themes don't even draw a border), I used a CSS
style that will make sure that it looks the same for every KDE theme, Windows
and MacOSX.

I will see if my GIT branch is still working, and commit the tool descriptor
patch.
