--- Comment #38 from Steve Therrien <kdeb...@stevetherrien.ca> --- I agree that fixing those long-standing bugs would help ease the demand for the hiding the icon, but I still find it adds visual noise to my workspace, and would prefer to turn it off. The bugs mentioned in #15 and #33 aside, I find it distracting when my peripheral vision catches the audio icon appearing and disappearing because some application momentarily played a sound that, either my ears have already hard, or I didn't care about in the first place because I'd turned my speakers off so as to not be bothered by random sounds. If bug-free indicators showing each application's CPU/memory usage and network traffic were suddenly forced on, people would understandably want the option to turn them off; that's not the job of the icon panel, and Plasma already comes with a tool to view all that process information, the System Monitor. Likewise, if I ever find myself in a situation where I need to mute an application or figure out which application it's coming from, the audio applet is always just a click away. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
