  Looks great! Not having to avoid certain wallpapers is a big win for 
usability. :)

  I'm not suggesting we should base new options entirely off reddit opinions. 
That would be short-sighted. :)
  
  However I see no harm in adding to this discussion that changes or new 
options to OSD would be welcomed by a number people. Certainly falls under the 
category "quick and dirty user research" but then again, why disregard it 
completely?
  
  From what I gathered so far there is a need (more or less) for a less 
obstrusive and a completely hidden OSD. I'd get behind three options so we 
don't overcomplicate things: classic, compact, none.
  
  Of course I'm open to arguments why we shouldn't do this. :)

ambitious plan would be:

  I just stumbled upon this reddit thread with a significant number of upvotes: 
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/9j57z2/fixing_the_awful_volumebrightness_osd_size/
  
  So I guess it's an idea worth pushing forward. :)

D13593: [Fonts KCM] Improve user-friendliness of some anti-aliasing strings

[Sven Mauch]

svenmauch added a comment.


  +1 on removing style/type from the strings
  
  I'm unsure about the anti-aliasing/font smoothing discussion and I understand 
both sides. However, if we were to change it to smoothing then we should also 
consider renaming sub-pixel rendering to be consistent.

D15418: Dim application icon when it is not playing anything

[Sven Mauch]

svenmauch added a comment.


  Ideally the volume lines would show how loud an application currently is by 
having an equalizer-like overlay on the blue volume bar.
  
  For now I think having the icons with less transparency is confusing. At 
least for me it doesn't seem intuitive enough what it means and it might open 
up possibilites where some icons look weird when dimmed.
  
  Adding icons to all apps that are currently not playing would clutter things 
up since there's usually more apps open that are not playing anything than 
vice-versa.
  
  I thought about adding another volume icon to the bottom-right side of the 
app icons but that would probably look weird right next to the other volume 
icon. Maybe someone can come up with a better idea?
