Does country matter for when night time toggles? Oo (In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #1) > Does country matter for when night time toggles? Oo If you are in Europe, you might guess good enough. If you are traveling or live somewhere in a bigger continent blob, can you tell me, where you are? If you point a few 10px wrong, that's already > 1/2-1 hour. That's why we have location based detection? :D Borders are a fickle thing. One's interpretation of where a border is can vary and doing it right for one person gets another person angry. > Borders are a fickle thing.

I kind of see your point, but how many borders conflict are there to justify the argument? How many people have complained about KDE Marble showing wrong borders? :) (In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #3) > That's why we have location based detection? :D What's the reason to have an offline point and click setting in the first place? :D Well, fine to me, but imo either a political map _or_ some more details, would have been great. > How many people have complained about KDE Marble showing wrong borders? :)
Quite a lot, actually
I'd like to re-open it: I've noticed in Plasma 6.5.3 that the Time-Zone KCM uses a map with borders. I think we should be consistent, it doesn't make sense to not use one for the night light b/c people might complain but use it for the time zone. Shall I open a new report to remove the map for the time zone or or can we agree that a few people complaining loud isn't worth holding back a useful feature? |
