I think it's different across widget styles. For example I have always use the CDE one and it acts this way. It's not really possible for it to be more centrally configurable because any widget style author should have the freedom to design his widgets as he fancies. That includes menus which do not look and/or act like most we've seen - then a separate KDE option would not make sense... I see what you mean. :^( I've tried a number of different widget themes, and in most of them, the pop-out menus still appear if I simple hover over them: "Keramik," "MS Windows 9x," "KDE Classic," "Phase," "Plastik," "Platinum," and "B3/KDE." The only one I tried that did NOT do this was "Motif." Would it make sense to allow the user to override a style setting like this, though? It's less of a visual issue (which I figured styles would cover) and more of an interaction issue (which I figured KDE's control center would allow me to tweak, for usability/accessibility reasons). Or, to throw a wrench into the machine, could we simply make this NOT a style setting at all (so that theme/style authors don't set it, and ONLY the end user makes the decision?) (We already decide HOW pop-up menus pop... fade in, animated, or no-effect.) Thanks! Hrm... another thought... Under Peripherals->Mouse, we choose options like the delay for automatically selecting icons (if we're in single-click-to-open mode), pointer threshold, double-click interval, drag-start-time, etc. An "automatically pop open menu" delay setting would make sense there, wouldn't it? You convinced me. Duplicate of: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88735 |
