I have audigy2 soundcard with lots of controls. Opening kmix window results in very wide window that overlaps screen edges even on my 1920x1200 px monitor. I notice that controls in kmix are much more wider than in KDE SC 4.4 because control descriptions are no longer oriented verticaly. So for example "Audigy Analog/Digital Input Jack" takes really lots of space, though it is broken to the three lines. I am not however sure what to propose to improve the situation. Only this comes to my mind: 1) Enable vertical descriptions 2) Have option to adjust text size And the scale on the sliders have become strange KMix had some bad layout issues, which were resolved by a patch I am still very thankful for. I agree that the current spacing is way too big, and it will be reduced again in upcoming versions. I don't understand comment #2 on the slider scales (is scale = tickmarks). Please explain waht is strange (+ screenshot, if possible before and after). (In reply to comment #3) Nothing to explain. With a minimum height of kmail window, the tick marks disposition becomes very small. A little more and they will transform to one big mark :) Also, you can see this on the first screenshot. Regards. I think I cannot do too much about the tickmarks disposition, as there are already very few tickmarks (usually 11). If 11 tickmarks are too close to be usable, I would simply advise to switch them off. ---- Technically the tickmarks depend on the page step, and that is always 10% of the range in KMix. Size is reduced again. Currently this is in the SVN branch /branches/work/kmix SVN Revision 1166029 I'll mark this fixed after importing the code to trunk again. *** Bug 250685 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Even the window that pops up by the system tray is far larger and longer than the past. On a netbook this can be a problem. Reintegrated into trunk. Fixed for KDE4.6. |
Created attachment 49594 [details] Example Version: 3.7 (using KDE 4.4.95) OS: Linux Previously kmix had small window size and now it was increased to excessive sizes. Why was it necessary to increase its window on half a screen? Where is a profit? Reproducible: Always
