Description Aaron Peterson 2010-07-19 12:56:06 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I would like to choose when an applet is.. an applet, or an icon.

popupapplets already convert between applet and icon.

Also add an option for MouseOverIcon to pop up the applet, and option to auto which should probably be set to default because it is already default behavior.

I would hope that this wouldn't break anything that depends on it.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Learned of autoexpansion of plasmoids from icon to applet if panel is big enough on this thread on kde-plasma-devel 

(just got reply, and website hasn't been updated)

I still run into this,  The Device Notifier shows up in the system tray now.  It pops over everything annoyingly when a new device is plugged in.

This could be a property for each widget instance. 
icon, expand onmouseover
fully expanded
expand on click
popup on event Y/N

(also add custom background color to each widget would be cool)

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
