*** Bug 200300 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I just wanted to mention, that you can change the settings by doing the following steps: Click the Plasma Icon and Rightclick on the place where your taskmanager is. I agree that this is not really intuitiv but a lot better than finding the right 3 pixel for clicking. *** Bug 207538 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 207527 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 207971 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 208541 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** *** Bug 221836 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I confirm - KDE 4.4.0. Serious usability problem as with the mroe than three programs opened it is absolutely impossible to find taskbar settings. space between icons doesn't work and putting the option to the 3px wide corner is just ridiculous. @Dan Duris: please read comment #2 #2 doesn't work for me. i don't really know what you mean by plasma icon, if you mean the peanut, than it doesn't work. clicking on the peanut as mentioned in comment #2 works but for those with widgets locked. its not readily available. @Dan Duris: comment #2 is referring to the panel toolbox button. hover over it and you'll see the tooltip for it. and yes, it works. (left) click on it, then right click on the tasks widget. @Mathieu Jobin: one can expect many aspects of the user experience to change or even degrade when widgets are locked. that is actually part of the point behind locking the widgets. honestly, someone simply needs to put the work into this one to improve it. i'm not interested in further conversation on the matter as it's been covered to death already. we're simply wasting time chit-chatting about it on a bug report. to put some teeth to that statement: i *will* close this bug report as invalid upon the next comment appearing unless it is of the nature of "i am working on a patch..". the task will remain on our (plasma team's) internal todo lists until it is done, but this report will no longer be used to track it if bugs.kde.org continues to be used a replacement for forum.kde.org. SVN commit 1126457 by aseigo: show the settings action, if it is available, in the context menu BUG:203912 M +7 -2 taskgroupitem.cpp M +5 -0 windowtaskitem.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1126457 btw, in addition to that commit, there is a nice new applet handle / tab that appears when you open the panel toolbox and hover over a widget that shows "close" and "configure" (in a pretty way) which makes the toolbox approach a lot more evident as well. Thanks, Aaron, that sounds important! I know that finding the panel configuration is a real challenge for novice KDE 4 users. *** Bug 264248 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
