Description Oded Arbel 2003-10-13 12:48:40 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3 
OS:          Linux

Before porting konsole to the new widget, it was possible to set the sessions' tab to show the session icon above the session name. with the new tab widget, its not possible to modify the location of the icon relative to the session name, also the icon size cannot be changed.

Although I like the new tab widget, and I appreciate the benefit of using a unified source for all tabs, it will be nice if we can also have the old functionality as well (in the new tab widget, of course, so other applications can benefit from it).

This is a wish list item, not a bug, because I accept this is lowest of all priorities and I won't be surprised not dissapointer if this is pushed to KDE 4 or beyond. like I said - it will be nice to have, no more.

You can change the icon associated to the tab by creating a new session type. For example, if you want a session of root to have a different icon, go to Settings - Configure Konsole - Session and for root, select a new icon. You can also create new session types.

Yes, I am aware of that. but with the old tab widget I could also set the *size* as well as the position of the icon relative to the text of the title.

Please please please bring the text position option back! My tabs now take up 1.5 more horizontal space, and it's really inconvenient!

Comment 5 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-01-04 07:43:06 UTC

You can have: text only, icon only, or both.  I think that is all k/qtabwidget can do presently.
The icon size might be changed using qtabwidget->setTabIconSet...

Comment 6 Oded Arbel 2005-01-04 10:46:04 UTC

I couldn't find where that option would be configured. right clicking the tab widget is the first place I'd look up as this is where it used to be, but I get only session control options that way. the "view" menu is weirdly the same as the session control menu (RMB on tab widget) and nothing in "configure" seems applicable.

If this can easily be set in code, can it be please exposed in the UI ?

Comment 7 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-01-04 15:29:38 UTC

Right-click over the left-corner 'New session' tab button.  You'll see

Tab Bar: Hide, Top, Bottom
Tab Options: Text & Icons, Text, Icon
Dynamic Hide

It is strange that this is the only location to set Tab Options and Dynamic Hide.  That will be fix in 4.0 I think.

Cool. I didn't see that at all. BTW - what is "dynamic hide" ? I didn't 
see it has any affect.

Comment 9 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-01-04 18:12:09 UTC

Reminder to self: put in Help file and perhaps Tip file.

Dynamic Hide will hide the tabbar when there is only 1 tab/session open.

Appears to have been resolved according to comments above.
