Description Wolfram R. Sieber 2010-03-24 07:48:43 UTC
Version:           3.5.9 (using 3.5.10, Debian Package 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-0lenny4 (5.0.3))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-2-686

I know my korganizer is out of date and everyone is (might be) eager to close KDE 3.x related bugs/reature requests, but I guess 4.x does still have window title bars or anything related. Hence, here goes my feature request, and I hope it can be implemented in 4.x.

So, here's the issue. If you happen to work on a netbook and an appointments reminder pops up it might cover up the last bit of free screen real estate and half of the app you're currently working with. You automatically minimize (or roll up) the reminder -- only to be able to finish the current sentence or whatever.

In order to get aware that more appointments reminders get added, if the reminder window is open -- you'll immediately see/notice it. But as long as it's rolled up or minimized -- no way to notice it ever.

Therefore, the feature I request is to give a hint of newly appearing reminders in the title bar, so you'll know about that something's going on even if you don't see anything else of the reminder.

Like a counter, e.g. similar to that one in GMail. (Which is: append an "(x)" to the window title where x is a number >= 1; and don't show it if x == 0, i.e. no unread mails.)

Since version 22.04.0 (5.20.0) KDE uses a new Reminder Daemon, kalendarac,
which displays notifications instead of a reminder dialog.
