Bug ID: 402651
Summary: [Feature request] Add description/tooltip for items in
second level of sidebarview/treeview
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.14.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: herzensch...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
A very common complaint I've seen regarding the organization of systemsettings5
is its discoverability for new users: what each setting does, the difference
between each of them (for instance, Look and Feel/Desktop Theme/Widget
Style/GNOME Application Style), what exclusive KDE Plasma features are there
and what are they for (for instance, Activities, Window Rules, Web Shortcuts).
Given that: the first level of System Settings has tooltips/a description on
mouse hover AND an option to enable/disable said tooltips through the Configure
menu; the third level (KCMs themselves) of System Settings has unobtrusive
tooltips in useful areas; the second level of System Settings has no tooltips;
then descriptions could be added to the second level as tooltips on mouse hover
for improving the discoverability of several features/settings.
(By levels I mean, for instance: the first level has Workspace Theme; when you
click it, it shows the second level, containing Look and Feel, Desktop Theme,
Cursor Theme and Splash Screen, together with the third level, which would be
the KCM itself, regardless of being in sidebarview or treeview. I don't know
the name for each one of these categories/groups/menus, sorry for that! I hope
I was clear enough.)
