[Openicc] KDE CMS

[Cyrille Berger]

First, let me clarify a few things, from the KDE point of view :
* consistency with how Gnome settings are displayed is unimportant, seriously 
the only reason you would want that is to ease transition from KDE to Gnome 
(or vice-versa), the person doing that will have to learn so many new things 
that it doesn't matter if the color management dialog is different, like it 
doesn't matter if Gimp UI is different from Krita or Cinepaint or Photoshop
* consistency with how other settings are set in KDE is *important*, we can 
safely assume that if the 
* what is really important is that if I change color management settings in 
KDE SystemSettings (or Gnome equivalent), they are changed in Gimp, CinePaint 
and Krita (that's what ouranos is about)

I guess there is something I don't get. I add assumed that the "policy" were 
some sort of configuration files, are they code plugins ?

That wouldn't be consistent with the other part of SystemSettings.

I don't really understand why is it important that oyranos have impact on UI 
and widget grouping.

I like my books to use the same fonts and style on all pages ;)
