Bug ID: 429278
Summary: can't have classic-style (sometimes faster-to-read)
system tray
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.20.2
Platform: Slackware Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: System Tray
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dchme...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Lately the system tray was updated to make icons larger, and that's probably a
good thing for many users. I preferred the classic-style drop-down list
because it's faster to read a small list than a large out-of-order box mostly
of icons. Will there be am option for classic-style system tray? Maybe
they're in some order, like the order recently used, but even so, it was faster
to read as a list (the icons don't do much for me personally, though I know
would help a lot of users... some I talked to had a similar problem though,
because some icons they thought were harder to identify or the users weren't
used to icons yet for newer things they're using.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open system tray
2. Look for quickly-readable list
3. Find the text spread out over two or three times as much space, taking maybe
10 times longer to read.
OBSERVED RESULT
Much larger, non-orderly, slower-to-read, system tray but no option to switch
back.
EXPECTED RESULT
Allow the new and old style system tray style (option or classic/list-style
widget as opposed to icon-style)
