Description kde-bugtracker 2009-12-28 20:59:50 UTC
Version:           3.5 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When I see a full-screen flash video, and I try to adjust the volume using the multimedia keys, the volume bar appears and takes the "focus", because (I assume) the volume bar has requested to be on top of all other windows, and because the Flash plugin has this very annoying behavior to exit the full screen mode at the slightest disturbance of this kind. Thus I'd like to be able to prevent the volume bar from appearing.
But there might be another solution: when a full-screen flash video is playing, and some other event happens (contacts comes online, etc), the notification window appears (in its transparent glory) but Flash doesn't change back to non-fullscreen mode. This only happens when I use the Ayatana notifications in the system tray preferences; I guess the Ayatana notifications aren't displayed using the same method as the volume bar. So it would be sweet if the volume bar used that same method in order not to disrupt Flash. Or better yet: Use the Ayatana notification system when changing the volume, like Ubuntu does (this would only happen if the user has chosen Ayatana notifications of course).
And while we're on the topic on the volume bar, could it also be semi-transparent? :D

The message has already been changed in the recent version (for the upcoming KDE4.4). It is a plasma style widget.

I guess it won't happen there, so I'll close this bug report.

If it happens in KDE4.4 for you, I'll be grateful if you could  open a new bug report then.

Correcting the typo: message => method

The method has already been changed in the recent version (which is for the upcoming KDE4.4). It is a plasma style widget.

I guess it won't happen there, so I'll close this bug report.

If it happens in KDE4.4 for you, I'll be grateful if you could  open a new bug
report then.
