Bug ID: 454034
Summary: "Allow Color Filters" feature is poorly named,
surprising and unintuitive
Product: konsole
Version: 21.12.3
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
Reporter: hec...@marcansoft.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I've been wondering for months why I sometimes got random colored squares,
usually near my Plasma taskbar, that would disappear as soon as I moved the
mouse.
I just found out it's a Konsole feature today.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Konsole with defaults
2. Notice random colored squares appear with no rhyme nor reason
3. Be confused for months
4. Eventually put two and two together and realize it's previewing color names
on hover.
5. Spend 15 minutes looking for the option to turn it off
OBSERVED RESULT
Frustration
EXPECTED RESULT
It should take 2 seconds to understand the feature (and that it is one) and
less than a minute to figure out how to turn it off.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
May I suggest:
- Adding a caption/title to the tooltip, something like "Color preview", to
make it clear it's intentional and not, say, a broken window thumbnail, which
is what it looked like to me at first
- Renaming the setting to something like "Show color preview tooltips" "Preview
color names on hover". I had to literally hover over every setting and read the
explanations to find it. I have no idea what a "color filter" is or why I would
or wouldn't "allow" it.
