Description Peter 2004-09-11 17:24:21 UTC

Version:           3.2 (using KDE 3.2.3, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux (Alpha 3.4.1-3mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1-8mdksmp

This is follows up my previous wish-list.

For KNotes to Auto-expand or Auto-minimize (which you thought might be tricky), how about taking advantage of KDE's windowing functionality?

That is, issue a 'shade' command to minimize the note on the 'LostFocus' event and issue a restore command on the 'MouseOver' event.

Shading is just the right height to let me hide my KNote within the height of another application's Title-bar a kay requirement for me! :) while keeping it visible and still clickabe, dragable, etc.

Finally can you please communicate directly with me about possibly getting access to your source code for compiling, testing, etc.? I mean is it possible to do so without downloading all of KDE?

I appreciate my comments above might seem crass -- sorry.

Brad,

Following up -- will this ticket get worked on anytime soon?

Thanks,
Peter

Nothing done to resolve.

Guess I'll have to abandon this app and find another where work is still active

Comment 4 Michael Brade 2006-04-09 09:59:26 UTC

Yes, you might do that, for I am currently writing my diploma thesis. So other 
than bugfixes I can't do much hacking for KDE.

But note that no new features are allowed for KDE 3.x anyway, only for KDE 4.
