Description Michael Knights 2008-01-01 16:56:14 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

The plasma panel at the moment is extremely large, and I think that it can be improved by changing it slightly as showing in the following mockup:

As you can see from the mockup, I think it would be better if the large icons (the K menu icon and the device notifier) would go over the transparent part of the panel and the tasks to be much smaller, because it produces an annoying unsolvable bug that shows favicons and various applications with stretched icons, which is very ugly. I think that the tray icons should be on one row becuase it lets larger icons have more room. I hope you can consider changing the plasma panel.

a) this report is too general
b) it covers multiple items
c) the borders are actually up to the svg theme, not the panel, so the primary issue goes away with a different/better svg...

whoops. meant to close this one.

oh, also, the tasks request is in another BR somewhere... but again, as this report has multiple issues in one i'm not going to bother marking it as "duplicate" as that's only partly true.
