Description Supreme1012 2010-08-27 07:17:25 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

I know this is something that was recently changed, but I wasnt around to give my two cents about including text labels with the icons and I think its a bad idea, unless maybe offered as an option.

I dont see how a large number of icons and text labels would both easily fit inside a decently sized containment, not without expanding its size tremendously after only hiding 3 or 4 system tray icons in it. Shouldn't not using unnecessary space be a priority? Especially when considering that this system tray could be used in other form factors such as mobile devices and tablets where space is more of an issue.

Also, why would you need labels for icons that are specifically designed to be recognized without them? What changes that makes someone need a label for an icon thats hidden whereas those icons that arent hidden dont need one?

Reproducible: Didn't try

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better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.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!
