Bug ID: 366100
Summary: Settings section not always obvious
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.6.5
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@barrayar.org
When System Settings is in icon mode, if I click on "Application Style" in the
"Appearance" category, it shifts to the usual interface for changing settings:
a list of subsections in a pane at left, and the details of a particular
subsection in the pane at right.
In this particular section ("Application Style"), there are three subsections
at left: "Widget Style", "Window Decorations", and "GNOME Application Style
(GTK)". The window title is currently "Widget Style - System Settings". Even
though I'm in the section "Application Style", that string does not appear
anywhere in the window. As such, it's rather easy to get confused about which
section I'm in.
It would be helpful if the window title perhaps showed a breadcrumb-style path
("Application Style > Widget Style") or even just the top-level section. Or
perhaps at the top of the subsection frame, it could say which section this is
or provide a breadcrumb. When going through and trying to find various
settings, jumping around from section to section, it's very easy to get lost or
confused about which setting was in which section. Especially because they
changed so radically between KDE 4 and 5, and there are many conceptually
similar settings scattered around various settings sections: how windows look
is affected by the sections Workspace Theme, Color, Application Style, each of
which have several subsections.
This isn't an issue in tree mode, since you can always see the tree path to
whatever section you're in, but it would be nice if icon mode similarly always
provided a complete reckoning of what section you're currently in, and how you
got there.
