On default dialog is visible progress bar, in title bar % of copying and pause button. I think these are the most important an often used informations/functions. Default dialog can be expanded with maximize/minimize button. On expanded dialog are visible additional informations like file name, progress, speed, remaining time and functions.

Second mockup
Re the "button" to switch between the small and the expanded view;
Is that a standard-widget? I ask cause my first impression at a look at the
first mockup was something like "eh, why is there a checkbox in front of the
x-of-y-complete label?"
The "button" is a minimize/maximize button and their look doesnt matter now. Primary goal of this mockup is a initiative of copy/move dialog redesign, because todays KDE4 dialog is looking like from golden years of Windows 95. While the dialog has now been replaced with a notificiation icon in 4.2 some of the features mentioned here would be good to have. SVN commit 945701 by sreich: I overhauled the look of the File Transfer Dialog, shown when the plasma one is disabled. Yes, plasma is the default for transfers (but I like dialogs better for this, I actually think they should eventually make it like gnome had (I think), where you can click the icon in the tray to minimize the opened dialog to tray, that kind of smoothness should be added I think). Anyways... This transfer dialog can be seen when disabling the plasma one (via systray settings).... The dialog is now collapsed (by default), and can be expanded/toggled that way, by the arrow button. Collapsed means that technical stats are hidden, things like transfer speed, time estimation, etc. This is a step towards a cleaner transfer dialog, there could be more to go, I will look into it further...... Note that the green arrow is not what we should use (plasma also uses it for this), waiting for Oxygen team to make one (already filed a request), so this is only temporary. P.S. No, I didn't take the idea from the plasma blog post, I actually started this before that, with the help of this pretty bug-report-mockup ;-) Here are screenies of what it is like in action here: 1.) http://is.gd/pkM1 2.) http://is.gd/pkLY Compared to before: - http://is.gd/pkVA A small step closer towards my goal of overhauling kdelibs' GUI nasties :P BUG:160055 M +45 -10 kwidgetjobtracker.cpp M +4 -1 kwidgetjobtracker_p.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=945701 |
