== Purpose ==
 
== Examples ==
 
== 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
