a) Having KWin do all the work would of course be ideal (the user would still
be able to override just like they do now with rules). Capture the inactive and
active window chrome at every launch, or capture once at first launch? I can
see a problem with the second scenario, since themes and dark/light modes
change. 

Maybe also have an API so the app can directly tell KWin what colors to use?
(Of course most will never use it, sadly, but some might.)

b) Having the user define the color is less than ideal, but if we have the user
defining the color, they should only have to define one value (unless they want
to define more, for whatever reason).

Both options are an improvement on the current way of doing things, your call.

The point is inherit some values regarding contrast from the main theme. That
way the user can define as few colors as possible (usually they just need to
define one color).

- contrast between the active titlebar background, the active titlebar text,
the inactive and the inactive titlebar text. 

- contrast between the titlebar background+text and the window menu
background+text. (if you think it's a good idea to color the window options
menus based on the titlebar color, your call)

So you just define set the active titlebar color to match the window chrome and
all the other values are inferred, unless you want to override them.

Regarding separation, I guess you're right. These will technically still be
defined as regular KDE color schemes on disk. But they shouldn't clutter up the
color shemes KCM module, cause they are play a different role for the user.

Oh these apps don't follow any system color scheme (different toolkit, or it's
a text editor or terminal). 

And there is mismatch built into some gtk and kvantum themes, that shows up
under certain circumstances, though that's another issue. 

It all looks pretty bad it's just too much work to fix it using the current
method.

I think it'd be worth it, as frivolous as it sounds. One of the upsides of
Gnome CSD is that the the chrome and decoration are in sync with each other.
Looks much more professional and offers some possibilities to developers. Such
a thing could be done for SSD too, and it might become even more relevant for
KWin if DWD ever materializes.

Yeah, I see the problem with video players, for example. But these would be
these exception.

Currently, I have non-matching titlebar/chrome for about 10 apps on my system.
To get them to match, I'd have to perform 260 actions with keyboard and mouse
using three separate dialogs. With the proposed manual method, it'd be max 50
actions using one dialog (one could optimize it down to 20).

So I'd say the proposed manual method would make matching at least doable for
the user. But if no then no.

Qt Version: 5.11.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0

To reproduce, click the update plasmoid or click update inside Discover. Gnome
Software just fails to retrieve the updates (there are 24 updated shown with
pkcon update, Gnome Software shows zero).

This update bug (packagekit GUIs either not showing updates or crashing at
update request) has existed for years on both rpm and deb distros, so not sure
if KDE can do anything about it. Might be software sources causing a problem.
It only sort of works on Fedora 29 in my experience.

there are several different solutions being suggested online and I haven't
found a single one that allows me to restart both precesses successfully
(compositing gets disabled, complains about no display not being found, plasma
gets terminated but wont restart, or plasma gets terminated but the applets
start to work in really weird ways)

I find myself frequently needing to use this feature due to desktop freezing,
either because of third-party software, ram consumption or KDE bugs (hard to
figure out). I don't want to log out or reboot cause then I lose all my work.

Due to it's single-threaded design, Gnome (on X) has a one liner:

--replace

KDE needs some kind of script but I can't figure out what that script should
be. I suspect many users are in the same position (as evidenced by the
popularity of this question and the variety of answers). It is also unclear
whether the solution for X and Wayland would be different.

People need a simple, reliable way too unbork the shell and WM in case of
emergency. It's a wishlist, but I'd like it have a high priority.

chrome with clickable mute overlay.

I keep clicking on the mute/sound status overlays in the icons when I am trying
to select a window from the dock. Most of these clickable overlays are pretty
useless (does one really need to toggle volume from the dock for each specific
app? The dock isn't an audio mixer).


I think default behavior should be to hide these overlays or make them
non-clickable. Or at least make this an option.

Let me know if this should be filed upstream instead.

blank menu illustration

A few of the menu items and submenus aren't loaded. After switching to another
window, then switching back, the menus get loaded. See attached video. Affects
both menu plasmoid and locally integrated menu.

Same exact problem observed with Open Office. The File menu doesn't get loaded,
then when you hit alt+tab twice, it magically appears. A bug has already been
filed for Open Office here #401367.


It seems like some optimization could be done by KDE here. It seems like it
stops loading the menus too soon. If the app is slow to export the menus, they
don't get loaded until you switch focus.

OK, turned out this was because the cosmic release was removed from the ppa I
was using. (https://launchpad.net/~mdeguzis/+archive/ubuntu/libregeek)

If _any_ repository is down, packagekit can't refresh the cache. With COPR
repos, if any repository lacks appdata, packagekit will cease to perform
updates. Basically, if there is any problem with any repository, you will no
longer be able to update your system. It's been like this for years.


Should a bug be filed upstream? At the very least, packagekit should have a
disclaimer that says "you cannot use unofficial repositories and packagekit on
the same system".

--- Comment #6 from leftcrane  ---
TL;DR. The user should be able to change the titlebar color (to match window
chrome or for other reasons) without having to create a whole new color scheme.

Most of the time, all you really need is just the active window color. The
inactive titlbar color, text color could be inferred from colors and contrast
values of the active color scheme. Just pick one color and you're done.

If the user wants they can provide these other values they can, but most of the
time it's not necessary for what the user is trying to do.

2018-11-30 Thread leftcrane
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401576

--- Comment #3 from leftcrane  ---
I personally would prefer the titlebar to look different from the chrome, but
with the same base color. Sort of like Adwaita does it. There is trend to have
matching colors: android, Gnome, Mac, Windows, they all do it.

But yeah the most common use for Kwin color theme rules is to make the bar
color match the window chrome for applications that don't follow KDE themes
well or at all. 

With global menu it gets worse, cause the menubar - part that usually follows
some system color - gets removed. 

I think it is logical to decouple app-specific titlebar colors from color
schemes. This would make assigning such colors easier for both users (and
potentially developers), as it would allow you to set the titlebar color
without creating a whole scheme.

Ultimately, it could even be automated, but that's a much bigger project.

related issue for reference: Bug 401191

I currently have the tilebars just going below the panel anyway (they are still
there). If only there was some way to transfer a click from a black space on
the panel onto the underlying titlebar, it would act like a true titlebar,
indepenendently of the number of monitors. 

One would also need to prevent the user from inadvertently clicking the close
buttons on the windows though, and that would be messy.

If you implement this, please don't add minimization to the cycle. I should

i mean the cycle shouldn't permanently affect the minimization state, because
the user just wants to see the windows, not minimize or restore.

So if you have a group of three windows: 

* window 1 active, 
* window 2 is minimized, 
* window 3 is normal.

Left-clicking on the group icon does the following.

1.  First click restores and activates window 2 (the user wanted window 2, so
they get window 2). the minimization state of other windows is unaffected.
2.  Second click activates window 3 and brings window 2 back to its original
minimized state (the user just wanted window 3, they did not want to
un-minimize/restore window 2)
3.  Third click activates window 1.
4. Fourth Click, does the same thing (1) does.

If the group has only one window and that window is already active, clucking on
the task-bar icon should do NOTHING.

==

Or it could be even simpler (for the developer): clicking on the taskbar only
restores/cycles, but NEVER minimizes.

 Flags: Brainstorm+, VisualDesign+

The current way to get color matching between app color and title-bar color is
tedious for users (especially since GTK apps don't follow KDE color schemes). I
am wondering if it could be done in a way that requires less user input

Some ideas:
1. (KWin feature, invasive, lots of work for developers) A script polls (or
examines at first launch) the color under the title-bar - usually in the upper
left corner - and sets the appropriate titlebar color, maybe with some user
input if at first launch.

2. (KCM, user-input) Setting to change the titlebar color only without having
to create a new color scheme. The complementary color values for
active/inactive text should be automatically generated based on the the chosen
app-specific tile-bar colors and the based on the contrast values implied by
the global color scheme.

--- Comment #1 from leftcrane  ---
Separating the app-specific titlebar color from the color schemes may also make
it possible to specify the titlebar color at launch, which means app-developers
could theoretically define the color value in their launcher script, so things
look nice with zero user input.

Anyway, sorry if this is a frivolous request.

The menu button is hampered by the fact that it's pretty tiny, also the menu
items are tiny too. This may be OK for a menubar that's always visible (because
it saves space and allows the user to aim beforehand), but it is bad for a
hidden menu).

There are no space constraints for the menu button or its popup. I think it
should be much bigger by default, although an option would be okay too.

The sluggishness might have been a random glitch, but the failure to cascade on
hover, inability to exit certain menus normally and crashes are reasonably
consistent.  This is 100% a topmenu bug, because LIM works.

The issue applies only to the horizontal menubar plasmoid, but not to LIM. 

Immediately after first launch, the user is unable cascade the top-level menu
items by hovering over them. You have to click on each top-level individually
to open it. Furthermore, sometimes the menus don't close (open "Help", then
click anywhere outside the menubar but the Help menu stay open). 

I have also observed crashes plasmashell, panel and latte dock after using
this. 

After about five minutes and a bit of switching back and forth between various
windows, the top menu of JeBrains begins to work normally. It seems like the
plasmoid (unlike LIM) is too hasty in constructing the menu and may be
constructing it incompletely.

This is probably related to the Libre Office bug, since the glitches follow the
same pattern: Bug 401367

Sometimes windows can get resized by accident. Some don't define a minim width,
meaning that a window can potentially shrink to a single line (see gif).

There should be some stopgap to prevent them from getting too small.

[latte-dock] [Bug 401192] [feature] - support titlebar hiding and dragging from the panel for tiled windows

2018-11-22 Thread leftcrane
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401192

--- Comment #2 from leftcrane  ---
What about just doing it though Kwin? have a series of top panels that only
partially cover the maximized/tiled titlbars. 

The titlebars only go below the windows if they are maximized/tiled. Then merge
then modify the window decoration color/opacity/size with the that of the top
panel. That way the user only interacts with the actual titlebars, not with the
panel.

Seems like a much cleaner and more intuitive to just interact with the
titlebars.

[Breeze] [Bug 401353] window decoration menu button: Option to have mouse hover replace the button with the actual menu bar itself, right there in the titlebar

2018-11-28 Thread leftcrane
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401353

--- Comment #6 from leftcrane  ---
I worded this feature request badly. please read this clarification.

I was thinking of doing more of a popup so that no modifications to the
server-side decorations would be required. If one were to modify server-side
decorations, then it makes sense to do a more general solution where actual
headerbar (DWD-style, but just relying on global menu for now) can be
constructed from the menu items and even custom commands. It would also include
search. In principle such a headerbar could be customized by the user, but
developers and packagers could ship the headerbar layouts via config files. 

See the (rough) idea here:
https://medium.com/@leftcrane/unity-headers-concept-using-server-side-hearderbars-to-create-a-consistent-customizable-and-fbdb0d9696c

(NOTE: the HUD popup whould should probably start at the titlebar for visual
and space reasons, not be displayed in the center).
==

TL;DR: Anyway the idea is this:

Introduce the functionality first as a Alt/hover activated popup. The popup
window just happens to __cover__ the titlebar. It's an overlay of sorts. At the
most basic level, the popup just contains a menubar widget. That's it. 

But it can later be upgraded to a customizable HUD that not only contains
flexible and easily clickable menus, but also a menu-search, buttons,
single-key accelerators, the tracking of most heavily used menu items and even
custom user macros (think Emacs-Helm).

After most of this functionality is there, maybe some of the functionality of
this popup could be integrated into the actual KWin titlebars (headerbar
style), at which point.



I don't know though, maybe it makes sense to start with kdecoration with HUD
delivered later. The ultimate goal is DWD-lite plus HUD without first needing
to finalize the DWD protocol or wait until app and DE developers start
implementing it. It could actually serve to popularize the DWD idea and
jumpstart work on true DWD.

I've been thinking a lot about this as you can tell, since the fragmentation
caused by CSD and the demise of Unity HUD has been driving me crazy, and I am
just sharing some ideas on how to begin to reverse some of the damage.

But on KDE they all look the same, regardless of window state. This bug should

also, just a note, with HUD the menubar could be converted to a full height

the entire UI and pull it up only when you actually need it.

The possibilities are basically limitless.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Compile and install the latte window buttons applet from git.
2. Add the applet to the latte panel.
3. Verify that window titlebars are hidden when you maximize window.
4. Now go to layouts and tick (turn on) "Support borderless windows in
different layouts"
5. The titlbar is no longer hidden
6. Untick the the same option in layouts.
7. The tilebar stay shown.
8. Log in/out, remove/add buttons applet, change layouts. The titlbar will
always stay shown.



OBSERVED RESULT

Titlebar stays shown for maximized windows.


EXPECTED RESULT

Titlebar should be hidden.

SUMMARY

Latte dock has an option to cycles windows on middle click. There should an
option to cycles them on left click. 

I'd argue this would be the best default for most users too, especially since
the widnow overviews on KDE are hard to use due to the hardcoded window dimming
behavior. Other alternative are also poor: window thumbnail previews has a
delay, while window highlight is crippled by both a delay and transparency
(again making stuff harder to see).

SUMMARY

The application should follow the last active window per monitor, not the last
active window across all monitors.

For example the drag and double click functionality (maximize/restore/move) and
buttons applet (compiled from git) works only if the window is activated. Since
on KDE only one window is active per screen, you can't use the functionality
unless you activate the window first.

The panel therefore doesn't have the expected behavior of a titlebar. A
titlebar can be used without first having to separately click-activate the
window and the panel should be consistent with this behavior.

Gnome has this behavior where if you have two windows tiled, dragging from the

the right untiles the right one. This is consistent with using the top panel as
a titlebar/grabbar for the windows.

This behavior should be enabled to maintain consistency with the behavior of
true titlebars.

In keeping with the theme of making the top bar behave like a titlebar, one
should be able to drag maximized/snapped windows from any part of the top
panel, even if it's being occupied by a plasmoid.

Most plasmoids do not require or benefit from drag behavior. Even a full volume
or playback control can be used with left click and and scrollbar, and most
users don't use such things anyway. But lots of users do use tile-bars to grab
windows.

SUMMARY

Low priority and purely for looks/consistency.

It's be nice to have the same shape that Gnome uses for the top panel (but
generalized to work for any panel corner.

So if you have just a top panel, the left and right outer corners are curved
outward. If you have a top panel joined with a left-side dock (like Unity), the
topmost outer corner of the dock is also curved outward.

The objective is to make the shape circumscribed by the panels resemble a
window with  rounded titlebar.

[latte-dock] [Bug 401195] New: make all the on a given screen opaque if windows go below (not just when maximized or snapped)

Bug ID: 401195
   Summary: make all the on a given screen opaque if windows go
below (not just when maximized or snapped)
   Product: latte-dock
   Version: git (master)
  Platform: Kubuntu Packages

SUMMARY

Minor.

If any windows go below the panel, they make the stuff on the panel hard to
read, even with blur enabled. The panels on the monitor should all turn opaque
if any window goes below a given panel.

Useful in the case of a Unity layout, where windows frequently go below the
right-hand vertical panel and result in unexpected and distracting colors to be
shown inside the panel. Also useful for bottom panels.

SUMMARY

The window previews in the overview are hard to see because they are all
darkened (unless they are selected). It would be better to draw a box around
the selected/hovered window without darkening all the others.

Maybe a plugin could be provided to avoid recompiling KWin?

imo curved is much nicer than a jagged edge, especially on a unity layout.

this won't work as well with complex panel themes. but most themes can can be
simplified in the latte dock config. There is also an simple alpha black theme
plus control on the kde store that could be used with this:

i haven't tested this outside a Latte + Global Menu environment. So I can't be

I "fixed" it on my end by writing a script that sets/unsets a kwin rule forcing
all windows to monitor one. Pretty crude and has to be run as hotplug, but it
gets the job done.

KDE should consider should consider shipping a workaround. Something as simple
as a script to move all windows to pramary on display hotplug would be welcome.
Users of right-secondary display will never need, but it'd be a a gosend to
anyone struggling with a secondary display on the left.

Is there something in X11 that necessitates this? Why can't the origin be

I don't agree that nothing is wrong. Nobody wants all their windows to shift to

Either that, or just change the setup to make sure the primary monitor is

   Summary: Affix the origin to the primary monitor on X11
   Product: kwin
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Other

Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal

 Component: multihead
  Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
  Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The current behavior is that the origin is taken to be the upper-left corner
across all displays. If you have a secondary monitor on the left, this means
that that monitor becomes the primary one, because you windows will shift to
that display on connect. 

The origin always shifts to the left-most monitor and this is what causes
unexpected and undesired behavior for the users.

This is the most serious issue for me on Kwin and I haven't observed this issue
on any other desktop. Why not affix the origin of the multihead assembly to the
center (or at least the left upper corner) of the primary monitor?

I don't know if this problem is resolved in Wayland or whether it's possible to
backport a fix to Kwin X11. Hopefully it can, since X11 will continue to be
relevant for at least a couple more years.

Sorry to nag, but why can't the origin be located on the primary monitor? 

Right now I have to move all the windows back to the primary monitor manually
after I connect a secondary, because most of them shift. That's at least ten
clicks and drags every time I connect.

I am going to have to write KWin script to make KWin viable with multihead -
something most users will never do themselves. And my script will never be as
good as a real solution because it can't allow clients to position themselves
intelligently - it'd just stupidly move every window to a specific monitor.

[lattedock] [Bug 404540] [feature] - new indicator style from Gnome's Dash to Panel

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404540

--- Comment #5 from leftcrane  ---
1. Pinned and non-pinned task items are visually the same.
2. Mnimized tasks non-minimized are visually the same.
3. Shown window: highlight box. (how's "shown window" different from "active"?)
4. Active window: highlight box
5. Grouped active: highlight box
6. Grouped active, one minimized: highlight box.

So pretty simple. Grey highlight box for active (and shown?) windows, no effect
for inactive. Minimized windows don't need any special effect.

Hover effect is also a grey highlight box (see Gnome dock below).






https://github.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel#Features

The indicator styles are all listed there. They all pretty good - I just would
NOT recommend mixing and matching different kids like in some of these
screenshots.

I'd say the Metro:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel/master/media/design/png/metro.png

and Dashes:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel/master/media/design/png/dashes.png

are most reasonable.

1. I think the maximum number is two (for three or more windows) in Metro.

2. The active window is always identifies by the gray highlight box, regardless
of which style of window indicator you use. The open window indicator is
completely independent from the active window indicator.
3. I think the maximum number is four.

If you prefer, you can round out the outer corners of the indicators (see

The gnome dash to dock extension has a setting to require pressure sensitivity
to bring up the dock from hidden state. This helps against accidentally
bringing up the dock when it's positioned on the left of the screen. The
problem is that applications have many controls that also positioned along the
left edge, so that when you try to hit an application button in that area it's
very easy to bring up the dock by accident.

Gnome's style can be found here:
https://github.com/home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel (under Customizable running
indicators)

It offers a few advantages over most Plasma styles and the Latte style.

- It is easier to tell which window is active.
- The active window indicator does not interfere with the indicator responsible
for identifying the number of open windows, which gives more flexibility in
terms of indicators.
- Indicators are colored from the icon, which makes better visual
differentiation of the dock items.
- (I think) Mousing over the dock icons draws a box around them. The current
latte style just faintly highlights the icon, which makes it much more
difficult to tell which icon you're about to select. Highlight boxes provide
much better visual feedback.

Note that dash to dock's style, except the coloring, is the same as Windows
uses. Presumably Windows conducted some usablity surveys and decided this is a
good style to use, so I think it makes sense to have this style as an option in
Latte. Having used Windows and Gnome extensively in the past, it is my opinion
that their docks styles provide a better user experience.

switching between grouped windows. Also the indicators are really poorly
executed.

Imo, Latte dock would be ideal if it kept the magnification feature - which is
useful on small screens, but stuck to a sane default style, like Gnome dash to
dock.

[latte-dock] [Bug 405252] Add a more definite hover effect to improve visual feedback /accessibility. (normal hover effect, like you see in menubars etc.)

Well, I don't know about you but I am constantly clicking on the wrong items in
the dock precisely because there is no visual feedback to tell me what I am
about to click on.

[dolphin] [Bug 405343] Typing invokes filter function (like Gnome Nautilus)

Basically you start typing and it searches/filters the current directory, with
the first result highlighted. Then you can just press enter and open the
result.

Bug ID: 405343
   Summary: Typing invokes filter function (like Gnome Nautilus)
   Product: dolphin
   Version: 18.04.3
  Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: bars: filter
  Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
  Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The default typing behavior isn't ideal. To get a file by typing, you have to
type the first characters of the file really fast. It would be better typing
automatically invoked the filter function, which is much more user friendly.

Pressing control + I every time you want to drill down to a file isn't ideal. 

To see the proposed behavior in action, open Nautilus and start typing. You
will get a list of search results, with the ones from the current directory
appearing first.

It would be tough to implement efficient type-to-search on KDE, so instead i
propose type-to-filter (or type-to-search on the current directory).

[kwin] [Bug 405428] Secondary monitor positioned to right acts as a primary monitor (windows positions are not remembered either)

--- Comment #3 from leftcrane  ---
OK, KWin is feature frozen, so the workaround for this issue becomes:

- Ship a KWin script to move all windows to primary monitor. Maybe have this
script (optionally) fire when a secondary monitor is reconnected.

I know, but this isn't about the indicators - it's about the hover effect.

Bug ID: 405428
   Summary: Secondary monitor positioned to right acts as a
primary monitor (windows positions are not remembered
either)
   Product: kwin
   Version: 5.14.3
  Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: multihead
  Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
  Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Operating System: Kubuntu 18.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Qt Version: 5.11.1
Kernel Version: 4.18.0-16-generic
OS Type: 64-bit

Display server: X11

This occurs when you have two monitors connected to a laptop (screen inactive)
and the right-hand one is primary. Once you disconnect the monitors and
reconnect, windows start to appear on the left-hand monitor (even if the mouse
is on the primary monitor). This goes for both windows that were already open,
which get moved to the right-hand monitor and for some new windows.

This includes, notably, the full-screen program launcher. Even though its icon
is located on the right screen, the launcher opens on the left after
disconnect/reconnect. The same is true for many other programs, with the
exception of the latest KDE and Gnome software. They get launched on the
secondary monitor.

Window positions aren't being remembered either - they always go to the
non-primary monitor on the left, for most programs. Interestingly, latte panels
from the left secondary monitor shift to the right upon disconnecting the
secondary monitor.

I can't tell if this is due to the latest KDE upgrade or due to me having
switched my secondary monitor from right to left side a week ago.


(I have active screen follows mouse enabled).

I realize that is is not an exhaustive or terribly clear summary of the bug,
but please be on the lookout for it. It's extremely annoying. I am not sure I
can document this much further. It's a complex bug and I have a solution that
works well enough for me: I just have a hotkey that restarts KWin, Latte, and
Plasma every time I disconnect/reconnect monitors.

Luckily KDE perfromance is good enough to permit this workaround.

I'll just add that some apps appear confused about the primary monitor while
others (like inkscape opening a file) actively want to appear on the right-hand
secondary monitor. (for these latter apps, I have a KWin rule to force them to
the primary screen).
