[Discover] [Bug 385973] Top 1/4 of app window is wasted space on Home, Browse, and Search Results screens
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385973 --- Comment #14 from Aleix Pol--- Git commit d435e886d56d1c95ce4b3ac0b0f0a153f94ae021 by Aleix Pol. Committed on 15/02/2018 at 00:10. Pushed by apol into branch 'master'. Use Kirgami.ToolBarApplicationHeader instead of the view headers Summary: Use the standard Kirigami component as header for Discover. Will need some polishing on the kirigami component but will pay off in the long run.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385973 Nate Grahamchanged: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |MOVED --- Comment #13 from Nate Graham --- We are proceeding with this work! It involves adopting the upstream Kirigami toolbar header, which is more compact and looks more appropriate on the desktop in particular. As a part of this work, we are submitting patches and changing the Kirigami toolbar header to better suit users' and developers' needs. Because that is a large effort, we are now tracking this work in https://phabricator.kde.org/T7958 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385973 ria...@yahoo.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||ria...@yahoo.com --- Comment #11 from ria...@yahoo.com --- I agree that the top header seems unnecessary, considering its size. However, it does collapse to a more reasonable size once you start scrolling down (which can be seen in the screenshots from andreas). This seems pretty much the same size as in the mockup of the proposed new design. It seems to me that the problem here is caused by the initial size of the header. But this is only considered a problem because the header seems to serve no purpose that requires this large size. For identifying the category, the smaller header (as shown when scrolling down) might suffice. So a solution here might be to make this large header more useful. I am not a UX designer but from what I understand these headers/banners are usually considered useful for promoting content, as it's the first thing that users see. In this case, we could promote the content of the category being visited. My main point is that we could consider making this header more useful, given how visible it is to each user, instead of removing or resizing it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

So my suggestion is that the ui switch from 1 to 2 (3) columns depanding on the window wide. The minimum wide I would choose the wide when you have the default discover window size. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385973 --- Comment #9 from Nate Graham--- Created attachment 108597 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=108597=edit Apple Mac app store Categories page The usefulness of the banners came up in the Telegram room recently, so I wanted to attach some screenshots from the Mac app store as that was brought up as an example. In fact there is only a banner on the main page, and 90% of it is just an ad for Apple's own software! None of the other pages have banners; they just have just lists of apps. GNOME Software is similar, with a banner only on the main page. And Linux Mint's mintinstall app store, which targets the same user group, doesn't have banners at all. Discover is the only major App Store type program I know of that maintains banners on the category page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Also, the large space around the search box is incosistent with the small search box in system settings. The only thing I'd change in your mockup is aligning the title "Home" to the left, and making it a breadcrumb when entering a subcategory. Font size might have to adjusted for deep subcategories though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
