UI problems and legibility

1) The columns are not resizable which make global view too compact and the content appears too crowded and hard to be read.
2) When I select an alarm the date and color become hidden.
See attached image for more info.

Comment 1 David Jarvie 2021-05-02 17:17:20 UTC 
A fix has been implemented to show the color for selected alarms (commit 093949ddb6a037e27813493c7ad86e74bfcc14b1 in 21.04 branch). This will be in KDE apps release 21.04.1.

On my system, selected alarms' dates are not hidden. On your system, is the date ALWAYS hidden when you select an alarm, or does it only happen for some alarms? If it only happens for some alarms, can you please give some example dates for alarms whose dates are hidden?

It happens with only alarms that have single digit in hour. See attached video for more info.

The hiding of the alarm date has now been fixed by commit a70a2aea022840b52967b710ba202af3a020b661 in 21.04 branch. This fix will also be in KDE apps release 21.04.1.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

Relating to the issue which you raise about the alarm list view being too compact, what solution do you envisage? Is it simply to allow the user to resize columns?

Yeah, by allowing columns to be resizable and also setting by default columns to take specific percentages of width like what we have in KMail, for example 50% for "Message, File or Command" and divide the rest on other columns.
