Bug ID: 404540 Summary: For Latte dock, option to have alternative indicator style copied from Gnome's Dash to Panel. Product: latte-dock Version: git (master) Platform: Kubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: plasmoid Assignee: mvourla...@gmail.com Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com Target Milestone: --- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
