Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-06-08 10:32:47 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When you make a change it is hard to say if something was changed (activating buttons are not so obvious). Please add clear text -- in the title, or below the name of the module, or in status bar:
modified.

It could be even more interesting if widgets themself will give a feedback. This could be useful not only in systemsettings, but even in all apps. What I'm thinking for is adding a visual indicator on field which was modified. Maybe it could be proposed to TT too.


What do you think Maciej?

Finex, _YES_!!! :-) It is a dream-wish for me, because it would become killer-feature for KDE.

I am only worried about complexity, but from user point of view -- a breeze, finally you _see_ all the changes.

At first I change this bug to kdelibs->kdeui, let see what developers think about.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2010-09-01 01:33:24 UTC
Any ideas/suggestions/mockups about the visual representation? Ideally something that does not cause a relayout, i.e. nothing that adds, modifies or emboldens text, because it would be annoying when the widgets move just because of a change.

For all KConfigDialogManager based applications it should even be possible to check which widgets have changed contents.
