Comment 56 for bug 253709

@Aaron : Would it be possible to add an external border to the plasmoid so that it could be resized? That could be given rotate handles and the close and settings could be blended into the corner. I think that if the design is different enough then people will not expect window-like features.

Maybe if you itemized your fears about which window features would be wanted then it might be possible to work around those problems so that people do not expect them. It might just be a case of getting the graphic design right.
