Description M. Sadeq H. E. 2019-03-18 10:29:13 UTC

Plasmoids such as KDE Connect, Audio Volume, Networks, etc should display a tool-tip information while mouse pointer is over them on the panel.

There is a similar bug report but only for System Monitor plasmoid, other plasmoids still have this bug (unimplemented feature):

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180102

Currently, Lotte Dock only supports displaying plasmoid's name in the tool-tip but each plasmoid should be able to display its own information in the tool-tip. For example, whenever I move my mouse pointer over Audio Volume plasmoid, it should display current value for audio volume, and the plasmoid's name doesn't help much.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kubuntu Version: 18.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Qt Version: 5.11.1

Comment 1 Michail Vourlakos 2019-03-18 11:28:59 UTC

It is already supported but you must lock this applets in order to not use the Parabolic effect infrastructure...

Do you know how to lock them?

Comment 2 M. Sadeq H. E. 2019-03-18 12:48:02 UTC

Thanks, I didn't know that I should lock plasmoids (KDE Connect, Audio Volume, etc), now they are displaying detailed information as you said.

But why System Load Monitor plasmoid doesn't need to be locked for displaying detailed information? Shouldn't other plasmoids behave the same as System Load Monitor for consistency?

System Load Monitor is probably identified by Latte that it can not be used with parabolic effect at all and as such it disables parabolic effect mechanisms automatically

I noticed here the same issue happens with the System Tray, and AFAIKS there's no way to lock it, or to otherways get the correct behaviour.

Gentoo Linux
Qt: 5.12.2
KDE Frameworks: 5.56.0
KDE Plasma: 5.15.4
latte-dock latest from git (currently 9ce7ba35bb)

Thanks.

Forgot to add:
For the affected panel "Zoom on hover" is set to 0 and I've tried "Show title tooltips" both on and off.

Thanks

Screenshot of dock with System Load Viewer not showing it's tooltip

Thanks, that fixed the systray.

Unfortunately, I noticed that System Load Viewer (this time in a dock) is affected too :(, and for this dock I can't turn off the "Show title tooltips when hovering" option.

I've attached an image showing it when hovered by the mouse and also the configuration mode, hope it helps.

Image showing the original systray issue

For completeness' sake I've also attached an image showing the initial Systray issue. (Show tooltips = OFF mode is now fixed)

Thanks.

Ah rigth, sorry, rearrange was off and it was missing the config and lock buttons in the tooltip. All good now.

Thanks again.
