Description KDE Brainstorm Submissions 2009-10-15 23:24:06 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    I Don't Know

Hi!
An Idea for Plasma:
It would be nice to have Plasmoids applying Layouts (horicontal, vertical, grid or maybe others) to the containing Plasmoids. So a better Positioning on the Desktop could be enabled. Also the Workspace could get a Layout, e.g. the classical grid.

This forum was a nice idea. ;)
The User

The New Container-Features:
-Container-Classes where you can easily add Plasmoids
-Applying Layouts to such containers
-Scrolling the Container
-Stacked Plasmoids in the Container
-Invisible Containers
-Applying those features to the desktop and the Panels
-Snapping/Rulers


This feature request was originally submitted through KDE Brainstorm, and has been submitted to Bugzilla due to popular demand. Original idea: http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php?mode=idea&i=38959

This idea isn't a duplicate.  It does mention a grid, but it includes a lot of other features as well that are not part of the idea you referenced.

Magnetic Gimp like help lines that can be dragged from the top and side (and back into) would be great to position objects.

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!

Nate Graham
