Description Cédric Bellegarde 2009-10-18 00:08:22 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I test it with archlinux snapshots packages, it looks really hard to use: 
- You have to put your mouse over icons to really know what is the plasmoid
- You can't scroll fast over plasmoid
- You can't add plasmoid at bottom screen by drag and drop (if your panel is at bottom)

I really think it's a regression over Kde 4.3 :( Maybe something like google one should look better.

I think 1) and 2) were improved in the last versions.

Comment 2 Cédric Bellegarde 2009-10-18 13:09:51 UTC

I use current SVN and there is now a title but it's really not clear :(

And, having sames icones for different thing really confuse users...

With 4.3 ui, icons just comme along plasmoid name and desc...

With 4.4, icons are central in the ui and there is two choice:
- Find a better solution
- Make one icon / plasmoid but it's really hard to imagine this working (with kde-looks one)
