Version: 1.2 (using KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-openmosix I'd like karm to show a little tooltip with some status like other traybar applications do (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55206) or would do (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55209). Maybe just the running entry and the times.
In 3.2, the tooltip shows any active tasks. I'll leave this open, however, as I like the idea of showing the current total time. For me, I've thought it would be handy to have a preference setting to tell KArm to popup a window every N minutes to remind me what task I am on. Sometimes I forget. It would have to be very unobtrusive, gentle reminder; that is, a dialog that flashes up briefly, then disappears and doesn't require any user interaction.
Maybe, in that case, it would be intresting a flashing icon like noatun's systray plug in that shows you that it is playing or even better, an animated icon, like kopete's when there's a unreaded incoming message. What you may add as a non-intrusive way of showing the current task is, a little message like noatun's systray icon does when a new song starts... a message that appears for some seconds and then disapears, very non intrusive. Thanks
there is already enough output.
