    == 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 create interface as near to real usage as possible.
    * Make sure your new widget:
    ** Resizes correctly
    ** Handles right-to-left setups
    ** Works well with different color schemes
    ** Looks as close to existing Qt or kdelibs widgets 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
