When you hover over a wallpaper in the list for a certain amount of time, show that wallpaper on the desktop. This lets you get a full-size preview of the wallpaper and lets you see how it works with your current theme. 2. Have a custom wallpaper position option. This would let you set the position and scaling in both horizontal and vertical dimensions, either to presets like align top or bottom, or to custom values in pixels. This is useful for people who want to have one wallpaper span multiple desktops, they can set the same image but show different parts of that image. Slideshow wallpaper: 1. Link slideshows. All the slideshow wallpapers that have this option enabled would use the same timing and random number generator, so they would all show the same wallpaper at the same time. Useful for multi-monitor setups Character Map: 1. Lets uses set characters that they use often. On the desktop, these would probably appear as a list at the top or bottom of the plasmoid. In the panel, they would appear as a list next to the icon. Device Notifier: 1. Double click on a device to open it in the default application. Alternatively, have an icon on the right with the default application and click on that. Lock/Logout: 1. Add more options: Screen saver, shut down, reboot, turn off screen. 2. Put icons of the options next to the options on the config dialog. Pager: 1. Show a thumbnail of the desktop on hover Task Manager: 1. Drag tasks to desktop to move them to current virtual desktop/activity 2. Drag tasks to activity manager or activity bar to add them to that activity. Search Launch Containment: 1. Add breadcrumbs next to the back button. Kalgebra and Qalculate widgets: 1. Merge the widgets, user can set the back-end. 2. History button that shows the last 10 or so calculations and results. Calculator: 1. Scientific mode 2. History button that shows the last 10 or so calculations and results. Quicklaunch: 1. The popup button should scale with widget size and position itself properly with widget layout when on the desktop 2. Enable and disable labels independently for the main portion and the popup. Currently the popup always has labels. Folder view: 1. On hover on the title, show a refresh button. Kate sessions: 1. Right-clicking on a session should give you options to remove or hide that session Konqueror profiles: 1. Right-clicking on a profile should give you options to remove or hide that session Preview: 1. Integrate the preview widget with the dolphin part, so when clicking the preview action in dolphin it popups up the preview widget above dolphin with a preview of that file World clock 1. Let the user temporarily set a custom time for the local time zone, and the use the mouse to check what that time is in other time zones. Panel: 1. In autohide mode, the panel has a nice animation when the panel is shown. In windows can cover mode, putting your cursor at the screen edge also shows the panel, but there is no animation. Probably the fade effect would be best. 2. Not everyone like showing the panel at the screen edge in windows can cover mode. Make a windows always cover mode that doesn't do this. 3. The panel should unhide when you drag a widget to it. Widget Explorer: 1. The search field on the widget explorer should have focus when you open it. Cashew: 1. Mouse actions for the cashew. Currently we have mouse actions for doing mouse events on the desktop. We should have the same thing for the cashew (except for left mouse click, of course).

Show a thumbnail of the desktop on hover less clutter in the pager, the better it is Task Manager: 1. Drag tasks to desktop to move them to current virtual desktop/activity 2. Drag tasks to activity manager or activity bar to add them to that activity. for desktops kinda works, for activities, yes, good idea it's a due and important thing Search Launch Containment: 1. Add breadcrumbs next to the back button. search and launch is purposedfully a single level deep, it's the main point of its design, and i really don't want to change that By the way, of course the idea is to have -many- of those ideas. However, those ideas will realize with someone actually volunteering realizing them. so what about this: you write those ideas on the wiki page (as i write here there are some that i think have some issue, all the others, quite nice) then you take one, the one that seems simpler to you, and try to do it? it's a very easy way to start, then after one doing the next is easier, then easier, then easier... :D Cheers, Marco Martin ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

Enable and disable labels independently for the main portion and the popup. Currently the popup always has labels. what would the point of this be? The labels take up a lot of space, forcing you to move your mouse further, and they force the popup into a vertical orientation. Folder view: 1. On hover on the title, show a refresh button. when is refresh needed? Ideally it wouldn't be, but as long as fam is optional you can't count on folders being properly refreshed. It is also needed when you use nepomuk searches as your folder view, since those are not properly refreshed on changes. Preview: 1. Integrate the preview widget with the dolphin part, so when clicking the preview action in dolphin it popups up the preview widget above dolphin with a preview of that file not sure about this one; would highly depend on the UI implementation imho. It would be the same UI as on the desktop, only it wouldn't be on the desktop. We already have the action there, it just doesn't work very well (if at all, I couldn't figure out how to get it to work at least). World clock 1. Let the user temporarily set a custom time for the local time zone, and the use the mouse to check what that time is in other time zones. we already do that in the clock plasmoids; world clock is a marble thing, though. making it consistent with the other clock plasmoids would be good. I think you misunderstood, what I meant is let a user type in a particular time, and then let the user see what that time corresponds to in other time zones. 3. The panel should unhide when you drag a widget to it. it does for new widgets; if you mean drag'n'drop (DnD) between containments, well, that whole system needs a rewrite. what needs to happen is once the widget hits the edge (+ some margin?) of the containment it should be turned into a QDrag and normal DnD can begin. at which point, the panels will all Just Work(tm). bonus: it will also fix the between multiple screens, from panel to desktop and perhaps even between multiple activities problem of DnD not supported well. Then I take it this is too much for a featurelet? Cashew: 1. Mouse actions for the cashew. Currently we have mouse actions for doing mouse events on the desktop. We should have the same thing for the cashew (except for left mouse click, of course). For instance a user could have scroll wheel on the desktop to change virtual desktops, and scroll wheel on the cashew to change activities. mmm.. sounds complicated, in terms of configuration. it's possible, but my questions would be: * why just on the toolbox, rather than the whole containment? You can already do it on the whole containment, the idea would be to provide additional options for the cashew. * what would the configuration UI look like? Take the existing mouse actions config, and have two sections Background and cashew (or whatever you want to call it, the names are not important). Both would be the same as the existing one. Another I just thought of: Let users set a blank label for the folder view. The label shouldn't take up and space when it is blank. ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

This would let you set the position and scaling in both horizontal and vertical dimensions, either to presets like align top or bottom, or to custom values in pixels. This is useful for people who want to have one wallpaper span multiple desktops, they can set the same image but show different parts of that image. -1; there are better ways of acheiving that, e.g. actually dividing up the image in a proper, competent image editor. One of the advantages of using many different operating systems is to getting to know some nifty tricks for certain features. BeOS had a move (not scale) wallpaper feature and it was solved very well: In the fake monitor thumbnail (Plasma had this until 4.4 or 4.5) one could simply drag and drop the image to move its position. I don't know how many people used that feature (I didn't) but how it was implemented was unobtrusive. ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
