Fine with either. Tagging VDG. They can make a decision. As in most applications circle mean peopel/user/artist/contact/... I would say sure. from my point of view I had the problem that circle mean also that you remove a lot of content in difference to square, but as I wrote it's kind of standard to have humans in a circle. e.g. at music player apps you have albums (square) and artists (circle). and there are a lot of other examples out there. I like what I see, I think it is more pleasant than a squared avatar. I approve. Well a circle avatar is already possible. The dark avatars for example (konqi, penguin, zebra) are nothing but PNG images with transparency (done in GIMP iirc and you can do that now by placing a circle around whatever image you want and then cropping the image, saving it as a PNG with transparency (which creates a square image but with content only within the circle) and loading that from file). I think removing the option to have both is not a good way to go - instead being able to set "round" or "square" may be relevant but that should be a technical decision as it's pushing demands for further options to the devs. *** Bug 388943 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I think the idea here is to automatically crop square images to a circle, which is what the Breeze themes for KScreenLocker and SDDM do. Right now there's an inconsistency, because Kickoff uses square avatars instead. We should decide on a single one (circle or square) and use that everywhere. My vote is for a circle, FWIW. *** Bug 394162 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Scott is working on this: https://phabricator.kde.org/D13415 That patch got stalled. I think anyone else who's interested in working on this can take it over or have a go at it. Git commit 95047f61275e1b727542483726475c85f4145dca by Nate Graham. Committed on 29/11/2019 at 15:40. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Reshape Kickoff avatar to a circle with Opacity Mask Summary: Crop the square user avatar into a circle with an outline, like in SDDM and the lock screen. FIXED-IN: 5.18.0 Test Plan: - Use Kickoff - Change/set avatar in User Manager - See pretty circle-cropped avatar {F7777572, size=full} Reviewers: sharvey, #vdg, #plasma, mart Reviewed By: #vdg, #plasma, mart Subscribers: filipf, sefaeyeoglu, hein, plasma-devel Tags: #plasma Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D13415 M +26 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Header.qml https://commits.kde.org/plasma-desktop/95047f61275e1b727542483726475c85f4145dca |
Created attachment 108750 [details] I have done a raw mock up shown a circular avatar in the Application launcher. Would be interesting an option to set picture avatar in circular mode or in rectangular mode, like in the screen lock or sddm login screen.
