Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-11-08 20:50:55 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)

profile appearance settings: demo colors on click not on hover

...because now each time my mouse moves a bit from scrollbar I get konsole flickering, which is really annoying and distracting me from configuring konsole. Please, if you want to demo profile, wait till user click on the colors. This is still intuitive yet much more explicit.

Hi Maceij,

I'm sure you've already reported this!  Either way, I have had mixed feedback on this feature - but so far more people appear to prefer the show-on-hover behavior than dislike it so it is staying for the time being.

I posted report about animated color blocks, but this... I don't remember :-)

There is also this "trivial" reason to drop show-on-hover: because the whole KDE don't use this mode. And I opt for consistency, so UI of KDE could be learned once and for good. Compare it color picker for example -- show-on-click. If the show-on-hover is needed and ok, it is needed and ok in other components, and then the option to configure this would be needed.

But for now, Konsole should conform to KDE look&feel.
