--- Comment #19 from Konrad Materka <mate...@gmail.com> ---
I was thinking about this today. It would be really cool to have something
similar to Android or Windows 10 but it has several usability problems:
* some icons can change status between active and passive - in visual edit mode
it is hard to show all in one list
* there are icons visible on demand (like battery, bluetooth, keyboard layout)
* use can enforce status - dragging would be confusing, especially between
hidden and active area
* plenty others
Entries list is good place to put ordering. I have few questions and concerns:
* Entries page and system tray icons have different ordering:
** on entries page, items are grouped by category, categories sorted
alphabetically, then items in category are sorted alphabetically
** system tray show notification item always as first, then items are grouped
by category, categories have explicit order ("UnknownCategory/Miscellaneous",
"ApplicationStatus", "Communications", "SystemServices", "Hardware"), then
items in category are sorted alphabetically
With different ordering on Entries page we can't just enable manual ordering -
it must be consistent. Should we change ordering on Entries config page?
* we need a way to reset to default ordering (by category, then
alphabetically). IMO the best would be to add dropdown with ordering options on
General page: "Default (by category, then alphabetically), Manual (order
manually in entries page)". I would like to avoid adding new controls to
Entries page - list with icons/items should occupy as much space as possible.
>From the other side separating ordering options and Entries list is not
intuitive. Maybe just one new checkbox ("Manual order") which enables custom
order?
* Notification icon is always first - in manual ordering should we allow to
move it?
