--- Comment #6 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- (In reply to Konstantin Kharlamov from comment #5) > They appear on the side of the screen, and having something you're > working on at that position is much rarer event that having it in the center. That's not a universal fact; it very much depends on how you use the system. For example if you have two windows tiled side-by-side, it's very common to be entering text at the bottom of the window, and this will be covered up by notifications. For chat apps, it happens pretty much 100% of the time. > Anyway, is there at least an option to move these OSDs elsewhere? Perhaps > with window rule or whatnot? At the moment I don't believe so. However notifications are relocate-able, so in principle it may make sense for us to allow people to relocate the OSD windows too, so at least if their personal workflow is impacted, they can move it. I've done this with notifications because my personal workflow was very severely impacted by the default positioning. The least disruptive I found for notifications was actually centered at the top of the screen! We also get complaints about this from people saying the volume change OSDs can cover up subtitles or the actor's face while watching videos. Seems to happen a lot due to modern video content often having vocals that are a lot quieter than the music and the explosions, so you raise the volume when an actor starts talking, and the OSD immediately appears and covers up their mouth or the subtitles! I'd recommend opening a new bug report asking for the OSD position to be configurable. I won't close that one as RESOLVED INTENTIONAL. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
