Description John Veness 2025-04-29 09:46:56 UTC
SUMMARY
Currently, the "Configure Titlebar Buttons" page is accessed via Colors & Themes > Window Decorations. I think it would be better placed under Window Management > Window Behavior > Titlebar Actions.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Browse to Window Management, then Titlebar Actions tab
3. Look fora page to add/remove buttons from the titlebar

OBSERVED RESULT
No such page found within one click. (Instead have to look in Colors & Themes > Window Decorations)

EXPECTED RESULT
Page found.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250426
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0
Kernel Version: 6.14.4-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I understand this is a tough call. What titlebar buttons are displayed *could* be thought of as a visual thing. But I think it's more of a behavior/functionality thing, so should be moved as suggested above.

That's probably true. However it would mean some substantial code re-arranging, since currently this page isn't a full KCM, it's just a page. Which means all of its code would need to be moved somewhere else.
