Bug ID: 499767
Summary: Confusion/clutter with settings underneath "Switch
desktop on edge"
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.2.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_kwinscreenedges
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: john....@pelago.org.uk
CC: duha.b...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It is not immediately obvious that the settings underneath "Switch desktop on
edge" (Activation delay, Reactivation delay, Corner barrier, Edge barrier) are
all to do with the "Switch desktop on edge" setting. Also they are visually
cluttering. Maybe they should be greyed out if "Switch desktop on edge" is
disabled. In addition, maybe those four settings should be moved behind some
kind of Configure button, whether or not "Switch desktop on edge" is disabled.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Browse to Mouse & Touchpad > Screen Edges
3. Notice that (by default) "Switch desktop on edge" is Disabled
4. Look at the settings underneath it (Activation delay, Reactivation delay,
Corner barrier, Edge barrier)
OBSERVED RESULT
Confusion about what those settings are for.
EXPECTED RESULT
Clarity about those settings, e.g. by being greyed out if "Switch desktop on
edge" is Disabled, and/or being hidden behind a Configure button which shows an
additional dialogue.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

point of view.
