++. The new table in the clock settings is much nicer anyway. :) See the following inline comments:

import QtQuick.Controls 2.5 as QQC2

While you're doing some porting, this entire thing can be replaced with a Kirigami.InlineMessage which will drastically reduce the amount of code here, and you can also remove the PlasmaComponents import (PlasmaCore is still needed for units, unless you want to also port things to use Kirigami.Units instead)

units.largeSpacing is preferable to hardcoded spacing values

This is pretty hard to follow. I would recommend expanding it to a conventional if/else block for clarity.

Seems unrelated; probably best done in another patch

You can take my changes from D24853

Merge kmaterka's patch D24853

The inline message box looks nice!

That new time zone view lacks any form of keyboard navigation. I cannot use arrow keys to navigate it and neither can I hit space to toggle a checkbox. It also lacks a frame around its content area like the text field has.

Add QQC2 namespace

Needs a rebase, and Kai's comment still needs to be addressed.

Thanks. Still needs fixes for the timezone list:

  • No frame around list
  • Scrolling using touchpad or mouse wheel does not work
  • Scrollview bounds are too large
  • Item highlight is weird and nonstandard
  • Keyboard navigation/selection does not work

QQC2 really shouldn't make it this hard to build a halfway decent list view...

Prefix QQC2

Maybe the border of ScrollView is missing in breeze theme. I checked some other widgets, like network manager:

It also miss the border in the connection list.

Enable keyboard navigation and proper highlight

The key point is to enable focus properly:

  1. focus: true to both ListView and its delegate item. They are not focusable by default.
  2. activeFocusOnTab: true to ListView. So when you press Tab, it get focused.
  3. Call forceActiveFocus() function when clicking delegate item, so the ListView get focused.

Basically QML ListView doesn't response to any focus things by default. You have to enable them one by one. Then keyboard navigation will work.

Arrow key for navigation, Space for toggling checkbox. Enter will quit the window?

Maybe the border of ScrollView is missing in breeze theme. I checked some other widgets, like network manager:

It also miss the border in the connection list.

QQC2 Dekstop Style ScrollView does something really wonky with its background, where it only creates one if it was not set, instead of just having a background that can be overridden. In addition, that background is hidden by default. To enable it, you will need to add Component.onCompleted: background.visible = true to your scrollview.

Thanks for the tip. It seems added the border, but when scrolling, the top border or bottom border disappear. It cannot show full border at all sides.

Thanks for the tip. It seems added the border, but when scrolling, the top border or bottom border disappear. It cannot show full border at all sides.

Yeah, that is a general pre-existing bug.

I also tried to not use ScrollView but enable ListView's scrollbar:

ListView {

    // add scrollbar, background and border
    clip: true
    flickableDirection: Flickable.VerticalFlick
    boundsBehavior: Flickable.StopAtBounds
    QQC2.ScrollBar.vertical: QQC2.ScrollBar { }
}

But it has no border or background. And the scrolling speed is crazily fast when using touch pad... However, all Qt examples on the internet say it is the way to add scrollbar to Flickables. But it is really buggy. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56075

Next plasma release can only depend on Qt 5.12

Please can you change accordingly

applets/systemmonitor/common/contents/ui/ConfigGeneral.qml
134

Please keep this the same as before

i18ncp("Suffix for spinbox (seconds)", "second", "%1 secconds", seconds.toFixed(1));

This change prevents the SDDM theme from loading. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414252. The change to QQC2 in the import in Main.qml causes it, it seems.
