Created attachment 87921 [details] Here how the feature should work, sorry for the print, as I said, I didn't have GIMP installed at time =P I've tried to make a custom panel appear on every monitor display, I'm currently using a dual monitor layout, it would be nice to have a feature that make a panel clone on every monitor, or extend that panel on the another monitor, and not only on the main monitor P.s.: Sorry for the print, I didn't have GIMP installed at time =)
So to check I have this right your idea is there should be a button to create a panel with the same applets as an existing panel?
Created attachment 88137 [details] attachment-14922-0.html It's an idea too, but I think it would be more user friendly if we have a menu with options to extend the panel to every monitor as one panel, to copy that panel with the same applets configuration to the another monitor, as you said or to keep that panel on a desired panel. Ex.: you create a panel on the 2nd monitor, and customize it anyway you want, and then choose where it should stay, on the 1st, on the 2nd, on both or extended (ocuppying both monitors with the same panel) I'll try to put my idea in images, but I won't promisse, since I'm work pretty hard these days Thanks =) 2014-08-06 8:22 GMT-03:00 David Edmundson <kde@davidedmundson.co.uk>: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337747 > > David Edmundson <kde@davidedmundson.co.uk> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEEDSINFO > Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO > > --- Comment #1 from David Edmundson <kde@davidedmundson.co.uk> --- > So to check I have this right your idea is there should be a button to > create a > panel with the same applets as an existing panel? > > -- > You are receiving this mail because: > You reported the bug. >
Basically a "hard-linking" one panel to all the screens. Quite an interesting idea, not sure if currently technically possible though.
The "default panel" comes from a js script. If you want to create the panel multiple times you can add additional panel clones in here. See: layout-templates/org.kde.plasma.desktop.defaultPanel As for your idea of having a clone button, I think this isn't going to be used enough to be worth investing the time developing and worth cluttering the GUI with. Keeping two applet configs in sync would be a mess also; we'd have so many edge cases where we want some things in sync, some not. Thanks for the idea, but realistically I'm not going to have time to do this. Sorry.
