Version: (using Devel) Hi, I have a xinerama/widescreen setup meaning my pager icons represent a 3290x1200 pixel desktop. There are some layouting issues which makes the pager look less-than-perfect. The pager does not seem to have a maximum width. So if I have a panel that is 150 pixels tall, the pager calculates the width of each virtual desktop to be pretty wide (because of my 2:1 aspect ratio) and only ~5½ virtual desktops show up before my panel is completely filled. I suggest to have some sort of maximum size or configuration or something. Maybe just go to 2 rows when each pager-panel gets wider than, say, 120px. The spacing between the top of the panel and the top of the pager area is constant. So if I have a pager that is 200 pixels tall I have a nice spacing, but if I have a 40 pixels tall panel the 16 pixels spacing at the top makes everything look weird. If my panel gets even smaller the pager doesn't even show the bottom of each virtual desktop anymore... I would prefer there to be no spacing at all. (like in kde3) see Bug 159742 which for some reason thinks that having a margin is wanted. Not sure why ;)
Can't you just right click on pager->pager settings and change the number of rows?
the margins don't affect click interaction (they are purely visual). that said, can you attach some screenshots showing exactly the problem layouts for you? it's easier for people visiting this report, which is about visuals, later if there is something they can look at (versus trying to decipher text only explanations)
Created attachment 25924 [details] Small panel shows how the pager is not vertically centered.
Created attachment 25925 [details] Tall panel shows how the pager only looks at vertical width, cutting off horizontally.
the second shot is a different issue unrelated to the pager; the first issue is at least solvable by setting the # of rows, though i agree it should be a wee bit smarter by default.
I only have a 1680x1050 px screen, but resizing the pager in a panel, it shows allways a good geometry. (kde 4.2.70).
@Thomas, do you still suffer this bug?
@Jaime: I compiled kde42 branch and tested, all of the issues are still there. What version do you think you fixed it?
centering is fixed in trunk (4.3), though it will still over-calculate the widths of buttons under the 'right' (wrong? ;) circumstances.
vertical centering is fixed in trunk (4.3), though it will still over-calculate the widths of buttons under the 'right' (wrong? ;) circumstances.
please retest with a recent kde release, if possible kde 4.4 (beta 1 or later)
Closing for lack of feedback. Please feel free to reopen this report if you can still reproduce this with KDE 4.8.3 or later.
