Bug ID: 375684
Summary: Please improve app status indicators in icon-only task
manager
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Icons-only Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: nw9165-3...@yahoo.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Hi,
the app status indicators in the icon-only task manager of Plasma are really
hard to distinguish.
When an app is launched, there is a very faint bar next to the icon, which is
supposed to indicate that the app is running without the window being on top.
This bar is really hard to see.
Once a window is on top, this bar will change to a faint dark blue color,
indicating that the window is on top, which is still not really good to see.
When hovering over an app which is not running, the icon of the app is lighting
up. When hovering over an app which is running, the icon is lighting up and
there's a blue colored rectangle around the icon.
I know you said you don't care what MS Windows is doing, but Windows 10 is
doing a better job at this.
Windows 10 is doing it like this:
When an app is not running, there is no indicator, there's only the icon. When
hovering over that icon, theres a faint gray rectangle around the icon,
indicating that the cursor is hovering over it.
When an app is running, there's a blue bar next to the icon, regardless of the
window being on top or not. That way it's much easier to see which apps are
running.
When the window of an app is on top, a bright gray rectangle is being drawn
around the icon to highlight that this is the currently active window.
All in all, it feels a lot better to navigate the icon-only task manager of
Windows 10 compared to the icon-only task manager of Plasma, due to the reasons
mentioned above.
Any chance you could do something about that?
Regards
