Updated screenshot with plasma 5.21.90
Dear all,
Thanks for working on this issue and I like the idea of using tool tips for the extended description. The applet looks a lot better now!
The problem with this solution right now is that all the tool tips show up immediately upon opening the calendar (by clicking the clock) and also if I select a specific day. Sometimes (as in the attached screenshot) the tool tips cover the whole applet making it impossible to hide them without closing the entire applet.
I would have expected the tips to show up on clicking or hovering the event in the list on the left.
Again, many thanks for your hard work.
The solution in 5.22 is great. Thank you so much! Wonderful! |
Created attachment 135256 [details] Applet screenshot SUMMARY Individual events take up too much space in the widget if they contain a description. There are some events (eg MS teams invitations) that take up more than the whole vertical space and there's no room for other events on that day. A lot of space is further occupied by the time zone part of the applet. I have attached a screenshot for that matter. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable PIM Events plugin for your calendar in the applet 2. Create (a few) events in the calendar that have a long description of multiple lines. 3. Open the widget OBSERVED RESULT Excessive amounts of scrolling are necessary to see all events, especially when multiple events have a description. If there was a method to shorten the event description to maybe one or two lines max that'd be awesome. EXPECTED RESULT Event title plus a truncated description that does not exceed a single line or maybe two. Reserve more space in favour of the event list over the space reserved for timezones.
