Okay, I will do so. Not all of these ideas are mine, I am just passing along the ones I think are worthwhile: Image Wallpaper: 1. When you hover over a wallpaper in the list for a certain amount of time, show that wallpaper on the desktop. This lets you get a full-size preview of the wallpaper and lets you see how it works with your current theme. 2. Have a "custom" wallpaper position option. This would let you set the position and scaling in both horizontal and vertical dimensions, either to presets like align top or bottom, or to custom values in pixels. This is useful for people who want to have one wallpaper span multiple desktops, they can set the same image but show different parts of that image. Slideshow wallpaper: 1. Link slideshows. All the slideshow wallpapers that have this option enabled would use the same timing and random number generator, so they would all show the same wallpaper at the same time. Useful for multi-monitor setups Character Map: 1. Lets uses set characters that they use often. On the desktop, these would probably appear as a list at the top or bottom of the plasmoid. In the panel, they would appear as a list next to the icon. Device Notifier: 1. Double click on a device to open it in the default application. Alternatively, have an icon on the right with the default application and click on that. Lock/Logout: 1. Add more options: Screen saver, shut down, reboot, turn off screen. 2. Put icons of the options next to the options on the config dialog. Pager: 1. Show a thumbnail of the desktop on hover Task Manager: 1. Drag tasks to desktop to move them to current virtual desktop/activity 2. Drag tasks to activity manager or activity bar to add them to that activity. Search & Launch Containment: 1. Add breadcrumbs next to the "back" button. Kalgebra and Qalculate widgets: 1. Merge the widgets, user can set the back-end. 2. History button that shows the last 10 or so calculations and results. Calculator: 1. Scientific mode 2. History button that shows the last 10 or so calculations and results. Quicklaunch: 1. The popup button should scale with widget size and position itself properly with widget layout when on the desktop 2. Enable and disable labels independently for the main portion and the popup. Currently the popup always has labels. Folder view: 1. On hover on the title, show a "refresh" button. Kate sessions: 1. Right-clicking on a session should give you options to remove or hide that session Konqueror profiles: 1. Right-clicking on a profile should give you options to remove or hide that session Preview: 1. Integrate the "preview" widget with the dolphin part, so when clicking the "preview" action in dolphin it popups up the preview widget above dolphin with a preview of that file World clock 1. Let the user temporarily set a custom time for the local time zone, and the use the mouse to check what that time is in other time zones. Panel: 1. In autohide mode, the panel has a nice animation when the panel is shown. In "windows can cover" mode, putting your cursor at the screen edge also shows the panel, but there is no animation. Probably the "fade" effect would be best. 2. Not everyone like showing the panel at the screen edge in "windows can cover" mode. Make a "windows always cover" mode that doesn't do this. 3. The panel should unhide when you drag a widget to it. Widget Explorer: 1. The search field on the widget explorer should have focus when you open it. Cashew: 1. Mouse actions for the cashew. Currently we have mouse actions for doing mouse events on the desktop. We should have the same thing for the cashew (except for left mouse click, of course). For instance a user could have scroll wheel on the desktop to change virtual desktops, and scroll wheel on the cashew to change activities. Activites: 1. Remember your current virtual desktop on a per-activity basis All widgets: 1. Fix scroll bar middle click. In KDE, middle clicking on a scroll bar jumps to that location. However, this does not work consistently with plasma widgets. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
