◆ desktopGeometry() [1/2]

QRect KGlobalSettings::desktopGeometry ( const QPoint & point )

static

This function returns the desktop geometry for an application that needs to set the geometry of a widget on the screen manually.

It takes into account the user's display settings (number of screens, Xinerama, etc), and the user's preferences (if KDE should be Xinerama aware).

Note that this can break in multi-head (not Xinerama) mode because this point could be on multiple screens. Use with care.

Parameters

point a reference point for the widget, for instance one that the widget should be adjacent or on top of.

Returns: the geometry to use for the desktop. Note that it might not start at (0,0).

Deprecated:: use QApplication::desktop()->screenGeometry(point)

Definition at line 535 of file kglobalsettings.cpp.

◆ desktopGeometry() [2/2]

QRect KGlobalSettings::desktopGeometry ( const QWidget * w )

static

This function returns the desktop geometry for an application that needs to set the geometry of a widget on the screen manually.

It takes into account the user's display settings (number of screens, Xinerama, etc), and the user's preferences (if KDE should be Xinerama aware).

Parameters

w	the widget in question. This is used to determine which screen to use in Xinerama or multi-head mode.

Returns: the geometry to use for the desktop. Note that it might not start at (0,0).

Deprecated:: use QApplication::desktop()->screenGeometry(w)

Definition at line 540 of file kglobalsettings.cpp.

◆ desktopPath()

QString KGlobalSettings::desktopPath ( )

static

The path to the desktop directory of the current user.

Returns: the user's desktop directory

Deprecated:: since 5.0, use QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DesktopLocation).

Definition at line 457 of file kglobalsettings.cpp.

◆ dndEventDelay()

int KGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay ( )

static

Returns a threshold in pixels for drag & drop operations.

As long as the mouse movement has not exceeded this number of pixels in either X or Y direction no drag operation may be started. This prevents spurious drags when the user intended to click on something but moved the mouse a bit while doing so.

For this to work you must save the position of the mouse (oldPos) in the QWidget::mousePressEvent(). When the position of the mouse (newPos) in a QWidget::mouseMoveEvent() exceeds this threshold you may start a drag which should originate from oldPos.

Example code:

void KColorCells::mousePressEvent( QMouseEvent *e )
{
   mOldPos = e->pos();
}
 
void KColorCells::mouseMoveEvent( QMouseEvent *e )
{
   if( !(e->state() && LeftButton)) return;
 
   int delay = QApplication::startDragDistance();
   QPoint newPos = e->pos();
   if(newPos.x() > mOldPos.x()+delay || newPos.x() < mOldPos.x()-delay ||
      newPos.y() > mOldPos.y()+delay || newPos.y() < mOldPos.y()-delay)
   {
      // Drag color object
      int cell = posToCell(mOldPos); // Find color at mOldPos
      if ((cell != -1) && colors[cell].isValid())
      {
         KColorDrag *d = KColorDrag::makeDrag( colors[cell], this);
         d->dragCopy();
      }
   }
}

Returns: the threshold for drag & drop in pixels

Deprecated:: since 5.0, use QApplication::startDragDistance() instead.

Definition at line 182 of file kglobalsettings.cpp.

◆ documentPath()

QString KGlobalSettings::documentPath ( )

static

The path to the autostart directory of the current user.

Returns: the path of the autostart directory The path where documents are stored of the current user.; the path of the document directory

Deprecated:: since 5.0, use QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DocumentsLocation).

Definition at line 481 of file kglobalsettings.cpp.

◆ downloadPath()

Deprecated:: since 5.0, use QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DownloadLocation).

Definition at line 487 of file kglobalsettings.cpp.

◆ emitChange()

void KGlobalSettings::emitChange	(	ChangeType	changeType,
		int	arg = `0`
	)

static

◆ kdisplayFontChanged

signal

Emitted when the application has changed its font in response to a KControl request.

Normally widgets will update their fonts automatically, but you should connect to this to monitor global font changes, especially if you are using explicit fonts.
