Same goes for the brightness OSD. Would be nice if OSDs could be like in KDE4, like mentioned or something could be displayed in the notification area instead of the current OSD (i think GNOME does it like this, not sure) I think it would fit there, because it's basically a notification The position too. In kde the OSD was just perfect. Position and size. Suggestion for the design. I would also dock the window at the top of the screen.

Do you know why it has been abandoned and do you see a chance that it will land in 5.18? There just wasn't consensus that it was significantly better, and the discussion got derailed into a proposal to make the OSD style a separately downloadable theme that went nowhere because it would have been complicated and not offered any real improvement IMO. My personal objection was that the proposed smaller OSD was still positioned right in the bottom-center of the screen, where it would continue to obscure subtitles and the main action in videos. These are the primary objections to the current OSD, so it didn't seem like the problem would actually be solved. I could get behind the smaller version if it was a 100% solution to the problem--perhaps by moving it down even farther--but I don't hate the current one enough to really have the energy to push for a change. If you do, I would recommend leaving a positive, supportive comment on See https://phabricator.kde.org/D20569 encouraging Kai to re-open it and tweak it a bit more so we can gain consensus on something and move forward. *** Bug 419551 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit af31ad46c025c0e53de1427527876366fcd869a6 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 19/05/2020 at 20:03. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Use more compact OSD Summary: A frequent complaint over the years is the size of the OSD. It was tried to alleviate that by having it start fading out slowly immediately but the way it was done wasn't ideal, didn't work on Wayland, and also causes flickering issues in recent Qt versions. This changes the OSD to a bar-like design similar to the one used in Plasma 4.
