== Guidelines ==
 
−
* Do you really need a custom widget? Check whether an existing widget cannot be used instead.
 
−
* It is strongly recommended to consult the usability team (https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/groups/usability/)
 
−
* Create interaction by following natural design. Find the appropriate metaphor and define a skeuomorph interface.
 
−
* Make sure your new widget:
 
−
** Resizes correctly
 
−
** Handles right-to-left setups
 
−
** Works well with different color schemes
 
−
** Looks as close to native as possible (use QStyle or QStylePainter to draw elements)
 
−
** Is based on an existing widget rather than a plain QWidget if possible
 
−
* If possible, consider making your widget reusable enough so that it can be integrated in standard widgets
