Description perrantrevan 2015-07-28 11:28:39 UTC

The close icon fades into view when you hover over a window thumbnail.
On my 1080p screen, it is tiny- hardly visible at all.
I think that a larger, bold icon could be used, more similar in weighting to the monochrome icons used in the system tray.
Also, perhaps it shouldn't fade into view, just be always visible and blink when clicked.

Reproducible: Always

Indeed, it is barely noticable at the moment. The VDG will make a suggestion.

Comment 2 Eike Hein 2015-09-01 17:05:09 UTC

Please do!

Comment 3 Guido 2015-10-25 15:26:55 UTC

Why the status in needinfo?

Comment 4 Martin Klapetek 2015-10-25 20:44:59 UTC

Because it needs info from VDG on how to proceed.

... which we haven't gotten in months. I came up with something: comments appreciated: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/125793/

Comment 6 perrantrevan 2015-11-22 12:54:26 UTC

Still a problem in Plasma 5.5 beta. Perhaps the icon has changed but it's still absolutely tiny at 1920*1080. Come on guys, the patch is there waiting no?
