Bug ID: 450277
Summary: Remove Launch Feedback KCM from System Settings
entirely
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_launch
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: guimarcalsi...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
This bug is part of an ongoing effort to rethink the options available in
System Settings. The end goal is to consolidate some obscure options to make
Plasma feel simpler to use and improve the user experience. I was advised to
make individual bug reports with my suggestions. More details with all the
suggestions and talking points can be seen in this shared document:

--------------------
The entire Launch Feedback KCM could be removed. Its options are very niche and
cosmetic only, and the alternative animations aren’t very well polished: Static
is pointless from an eye-candy standpoint, and blinking doesn’t blink the icon
itself, it makes a dark square around the icon that fades to white at a very
low frame-rate. There's also no point in having a setting to control how long
the feedback should be. The amount of time should be set to a nice default
instead of leaving it up to the user to decide.
It’s not worth moving all of those options to the Mouse KCM or reworking the
animations. I propose removing this KCM entirely. I also thought about adding a
single toggle to the mouse KCM to enable/disable the animation, but I believe
it's better to investigate why some people would want to disable the animation
and fix whatever causes that need instead. This is probably out of the scope of
this bug though.
