Bug ID: 517509
Summary: Missing visual indication of the volume (volume meter)
in the KCM like in applet widget
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_pulseaudio
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Currently, there is no visual indication of the volume of speakers and
microphones in the KCM sound settings. While the applet widget has it.
I think, there are at least two ways to implement this:
1) Move the VolumeSlider from the applet to a common QML plugin and reuse it in
KCM.
Advantages:
+ Volume indication as in applet
+ Control as in applet (control with keyboard arrows, by pressing the mouse
wheel, and so on)
+ General code improvements for applet, can be included in KCM automatically
Disadvantages:
KCM is based on QQC2 (so it is controlled by KStyle), and applet is based on
PlasmaComponents3 (so it is controlled by plasma desktoptheme).
Accordingly, if we make a common component based on PlasmaComponents3, then the
appearance of VolumeSlider in KCM will be controlled by plasma desktoptheme,
and I do not know how acceptable this is.
2) Make a separate progressbar to display the volume indication above the
VolumeSlider in KCM, similar to how it is done in `pavucontrol-qt`.
The advantage is that the QQC2 style can be preserved. The cons are code
duplication and everything that follows from it.
P.S
I made a prototype based on the first variant. But the second variant is also
not so hard to implement.
Personally, I prefer the first option, so that both KCM and Applet have the
same volume control and indication.
