Bug ID: 504884
Summary: Styling of "New!" badge a bit too glaring
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.80
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff) widget
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: john....@pelago.org.uk
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, noaha...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I like the idea of the "New!" badge showing newly installed apps. At the
moment, however, I feel it looks a bit too brash, too in-your-face, too much
like advertising copy.
I have two suggestions: Remove the exclamation mark, and (maybe) see what it
looks like in small-caps.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run Kickoff when a new app has been installed
2. Navigate to the new app's entry
3. Look at the badge at the right of the entry text
OBSERVED RESULT
A badge that says "New!" which is a bit brash and in-your-face. (Looks like an
advert or something).
EXPECTED RESULT
Something a little more classy. I recommend removing the exclamation mark. I
think it might look better in capital letters ("NEW") but ideally in a smaller
than usual font, i.e. what I think is called small caps.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Self-compiled from git master, so not really sure!
