[plasmashell] [Bug 411314] Allow to change notification font size and color in configuration file.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411314 Tobin Harding changed: What|Removed |Added CC||m...@tobin.cc --- Comment #15 from Tobin Harding --- I just switched to KDE/Plasma and its great. However I am unable to read the text of notifications because it is too small. Without being able to change the font size notifications are totally unusable for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411314 Emre changed: What|Removed |Added CC||ereno...@hotmail.com --- Comment #14 from Emre --- Agree for this bug. I have KDE Connect and receiving for example SMS notifications which include some one-time password. My eye sight is not 100%, and when I'm rushing to read the SMS content to copy the one-time-passcode, it's pretty difficult. It would help if I could make those pop-ups a one or two font size bigger. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411314 Michael D changed: What|Removed |Added CC||nortex...@gmail.com --- Comment #11 from Michael D --- I also find it hard to notice notifications using the default Breeze plasma theme. Part of the problem is that the plasma theme inherits its colors from the system color scheme, so everything sort of blends together. This is worsened by having a large, high-res monitor (mine is 1440p) which causes notifications in the default location of a default panel to show up in the far periphery of one's vision, hence easily going unnoticed. For me, what would help is customization of the color scheme for the notification. If I am using a light color scheme like Breeze, then having notifications theme according to the Breeze Dark plasma theme makes a huge difference in noticing them because of the contrast. I could of course set my plasma theme to Breeze Dark but I prefer all other plasma elements (panel, widgets, etc.) using my system color scheme. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411314 --- Comment #2 from apache --- Believe me I would not bother you if it was purely for beauty purpose, for example to match system theme, but it is not. I guess it uses system font settings. My default font is not 9 but 12. For some system components it is good, but for notifications I barely notice it. And there are different notifications. When I unpack a file I usually wait for it and expect it, but when I use timer set to notify me in half an hour and I am busy doing other stuff, clicking from one application to another it is easy for me to miss a notification. I need big orange font to even notice that there is any notification. Now, I am able only to change this element (the same as in previous version of notifications): https://i.imgur.com/GIZFpWq.gif But this change doesn't cover these two lines: https://i.imgur.com/vSjPRJ6.png -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Are you saying that your system font is 12 pt, but your notifications are still too small and you don't notice them? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411314 --- Comment #4 from apache --- When I multitask and jump from application to application and notifications are not distinct enough from the background it happens that I don't notice them. https://i.imgur.com/ZJx5gY6.png Big colorful, text as in example gif, captures my attention. But I want to be able to customize it to my liking and my needs and change the lines that now are not possible to change. The topic I linked earlier has 745 vies. Not very much but enough to indicate that some users are interested in such customization. By the way, this topic also indicates that users have different use-cases: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=161698 Sometimes notification is not very important and only confirms a job, sometimes is the most important, more important than current user activity. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411314 --- Comment #5 from Nate Graham --- Let's shift the conversation from requesting a specific solution (customize the font, style, color, etc of notifications) to an investigation of the problem, which is that notifications don't catch your attention enough. Which notifications are you finding that you're missing? Are they ones that disappear after a few seconds, or the ones that stay there until dismissed? Which apps are the ones those notifications you care about most? Etc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411314 --- Comment #6 from apache --- The ones that disappear after a few seconds. But the problem is that I need to see them once they appear so keeping them half an hour is not the solution. I frequently use timer widget I must react as notification appears. To do that they must be well visible for me. Why are you reluctant to add some code in configuration to allow users change font? Was this decision to abandon per widget font configuration during shift from Plasma 4 to Plasma 5 was ever discussed in a broader KDE team circle? On Randa meetings or at least on plasma developer's mailing list? Was it forced by some QT constrains. I wonder what was the justification of such practice that limits user's choice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411314 --- Comment #8 from apache --- Sorry, but I don't understand this approach. > Because that doesn't fix any underlying problem What would be as you call it "underlying problem"? There is a problem for me and I stated it clearly. > if one exists Yes, I herby declare that there is one for me. And I stated it clearly. I want to have my notifications to have bigger font and different color to differentiate from background. If you don't want to do it then say it openly. But don't make "the only right user experience" philosophy because there isn't such thing. When I write what I want I am perfectly conscious what I want. You are trying to tell me that I don't need it. As you can see on this screenshot https://i.imgur.com/tdL9cmH.png font size and color makes a difference. Why did you left this settings? If you are trying to convince me that it doesn't make any difference and that there is a different kind of a problem (if there is any) why don't you remove this setting? I interpret your words as if you were trying to tell me that I don't need different font but I only need to pay more attention. If that interpretation of your words is correct, then this is absurd to me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411314 --- Comment #9 from Nate Graham --- "I want to change the font, size, and color" is not the underlying problem. It is the proposed solution. The underlying problem is that you are having difficulty noticing notifications, right? We've found that bug discussions proceed more smoothly when we begin by defining the problem itself rather than immediately going to the proposed solution. Are you willing to discuss the problem that you are having difficulty noticing notifications? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I had to manually edit the .qml files to give me something useful. See attached image of my current desktop w/ a popup example. Would be great if we could configure this with the GUI. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
