Attachments: The default of KTimeTracker as it exists today
Suggested layout of the toolbars, to use as new default

Description Diederik van der Boor 2009-01-29 16:11:41 UTC 
Version:           4.2.0 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0) "release 82.2", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.20-0.1-default

I'd like to see the toolbar of ktimetracker simplified, like most KDE 4 applications have done.

Attached you'll find two screenshots. One with the default appearance, one with my suggested appearance. This can be configured already, but I'd like to see it as default. I think this would make KTimeTracker a lot easier to use.

I like it, especially the word "bewerken" which sounds funny for a german speaker!
Comment 4 Thorsten Staerk 2009-01-29 21:28:33 UTC 
I would only do this if at the same time it will be possible again to have several ktimetracker instances open.
Comment 5 Thorsten Staerk 2009-12-31 15:46:28 UTC 
I just wanted to implement it for an internet tablet where you do not have a mouse, but a touchscreen. Tooltips are tedious there - it is hard to move the mouse pointer over an icon. How did you implement this? Thanks!

> How did you implement this? Thanks!

I just configured the toolbars from the GUI, to show "icons next to text" and I removed some actions from the toolbar. So I guess this should also be possible in the code.
Comment 7 Thorsten Staerk 2010-01-02 22:33:02 UTC 
To reproduce:
1. start ktimetracker
2. right-click on a toolbar
3. select Text position -> Text alongside icons

I tried to do this in qt designer, but it is so simple. I did not know this is possible... with my program.
Comment 8 Thorsten Staerk 2010-01-02 22:37:40 UTC 
Here is it in code form, I just submitted it to qtimetracker.

SVN commit 1069207 by tstaerk:

Show a description next to the toolbar items. That is especially important if
you have an internet table, i.e. a computer without a mouse but with a
touchscreen.
