SUMMARY Currently, when the user wants to see the video about what an effect will look like, they click the video icon at the end of the row. This makes the row height to change and accommodate the video within the row. While good in concept, the execution makes a few changes that are not apparent at first. The current implementation: 1. Makes the checkbox/radiobutton get lost to accommodate it's new centered place in a much taller row 2. Places the video of the interaction is a very small confined place within the row. 3. Only allows clicking on the same video icon to close out the expanded information within the row. Proposal: 1. Create a pop-out video window showing the animation 2. Allow the video to be resized to the user's desire 3. Make the video disappear when the user clicks an X or outside the video area STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3.

Yeah, this would be a bit nicer indeed.

Git commit a6f6aa19cd1c817fe678b84d83a54f78375fb940 by Oliver Beard. Committed on 25/04/2025 at 20:48. Pushed by olib into branch 'master'. src/kcms,plugins: Remove effects videos These generally no longer work, and whilst they could be made to work again, they would still be out of date. If the videos were updated, they would quickly become outdated again as Plasma is updated via wallpaper, theme and other changes. Effects are previewed easily enough anyway by enabling them and using them in practice.
