18 * @class KMessageWidget kmessagewidget.h KMessageWidget
19 *
20 * @short A widget to provide feedback or propose opportunistic interactions.
21 *
22 * KMessageWidget can be used to provide inline positive or negative
23 * feedback, or to implement opportunistic interactions.
24 *
25 * As a feedback widget, KMessageWidget provides a less intrusive alternative
26 * to "OK Only" message boxes. If you want to avoid a modal KMessageBox,
27 * consider using KMessageWidget instead.
28 *
29 * Examples of KMessageWidget look as follows, all of them having an icon set
30 * with setIcon(), and the first three show a close button:
31 *
32 * \image html kmessagewidget.png "KMessageWidget with different message types"
33 *
34 * <b>Negative feedback</b>
35 *
36 * The KMessageWidget can be used as a secondary indicator of failure: the
37 * first indicator is usually the fact the action the user expected to happen
38 * did not happen.
39 *
40 * Example: User fills a form, clicks "Submit".
41 *
42 * @li Expected feedback: form closes
43 * @li First indicator of failure: form stays there
44 * @li Second indicator of failure: a KMessageWidget appears on top of the
45 * form, explaining the error condition
46 *
47 * When used to provide negative feedback, KMessageWidget should be placed
48 * close to its context. In the case of a form, it should appear on top of the
49 * form entries.
50 *
51 * KMessageWidget should get inserted in the existing layout. Space should not
52 * be reserved for it, otherwise it becomes "dead space", ignored by the user.
53 * KMessageWidget should also not appear as an overlay to prevent blocking
54 * access to elements the user needs to interact with to fix the failure.
55 *
56 * <b>Positive feedback</b>
57 *
58 * KMessageWidget can be used for positive feedback but it shouldn't be
59 * overused. It is often enough to provide feedback by simply showing the
60 * results of an action.
61 *
62 * Examples of acceptable uses:
63 *
64 * @li Confirm success of "critical" transactions
65 * @li Indicate completion of background tasks
66 *
67 * Example of unadapted uses:
68 *
69 * @li Indicate successful saving of a file
70 * @li Indicate a file has been successfully removed
71 *
72 * <b>Opportunistic interaction</b>
73 *
74 * Opportunistic interaction is the situation where the application suggests to
75 * the user an action he could be interested in perform, either based on an
76 * action the user just triggered or an event which the application noticed.
77 *
78 * Example of acceptable uses:
79 *
80 * @li A browser can propose remembering a recently entered password
81 * @li A music collection can propose ripping a CD which just got inserted
82 * @li A chat application may notify the user a "special friend" just connected
