Bug ID: 409455 Summary: Request: Make signature notification more unobtrusive Product: okular Version: 1.7.2 Platform: openSUSE RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org Reporter: a.skemb...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Every time I open a digitally signed document the "This document is digitally signed" notification appears. There are a couple of problems with this notification. First, it takes up too much space and obscures the viewable area. Second, I need an extra click to close it, which is a bit annoying if your workflow involves opening signed documents frequently. Some suggestions to resolve this would be: 1) Make the notification more discreet. Currently, it takes up two lines, one for the notification text and another for the "show signatures panel" and close button. If possible, these should be on the same line so that the notification does not take up so much screen space. 2) Perhaps it could also be configured so that it only takes as much screen space as necessary. Currently, you have the text on one side and the buttons on the other, and everything in-between is just empty space that is lost, as it covers the main view panel. Perhaps both elements (text and buttons) could be aligned (left or right) so that the rest of the space is not covered? 3) The notification could be automatically dismissed after a few seconds by fading out. 4) The notification panel could be replaced by a lock icon presented, for example, on the page bar. Hovering over the icon could present the "This document is digitally signed text" and clicking could toggle (activate and dismiss) the signatures panel. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a digitally signed document OBSERVED RESULT The signature notification appears and stays there until dismissed, obscuring the main view port. EXPECTED RESULT The signature notification should be more unobtrusive and easily dismissed.
