Bug ID: 404540
Summary: For Latte dock, option to have alternative indicator
style copied from Gnome's Dash to Panel.
Product: latte-dock
Version: git (master)
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: plasmoid
Assignee: mvourla...@gmail.com
Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
Gnome's style can be found here:
https://github.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel (under Customizable running
indicators)
It offers a few advantages over most Plasma styles and the Latte style.
- It is easier to tell which window is active.
- The active window indicator does not interfere with the indicator responsible
for identifying the number of open windows, which gives more flexibility in
terms of indicators.
- Indicators are colored from the icon, which makes better visual
differentiation of the dock items.
- (I think) Mousing over the dock icons draws a box around them. The current
latte style just faintly highlights the icon, which makes it much more
difficult to tell which icon you're about to select. Highlight boxes provide
much better visual feedback.
Note that dash to dock's style, except the coloring, is the same as Windows
uses. Presumably Windows conducted some usablity surveys and decided this is a
good style to use, so I think it makes sense to have this style as an option in
Latte. Having used Windows and Gnome extensively in the past, it is my opinion
that their docks styles provide a better user experience.
