Bug ID: 446212
Summary: Placing widgets into taskbar won't scale properly nor
update the widgets when updating style
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: slartibar...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
I am using fedora35, intel gpu and tried on wayland and X11 (both the same)
Steps:
1. add widgets (from desktop context menu)
2. select cpu use and network speed widgets, drag them to the desktop
Any change you make with the widgets when configuring appearance (display
style) have immediate effect.
3. go to 'enter edit mode' by context-menu on taskbar
First bug: the context-menu entry does not change to sth. like 'leave edit
mode', instead it shows 'enter edit mode' all the time (but 'ends' edit mode if
you select it again)
4. place the widgets on the taskbar in between icons only task manager and
system tray
problems (important):
- any changes on the widgets style, e.g. change from pie chart to bar chart (or
similar) won't update the widget. You need to drag it off the taskbar to the
desktop, change again and then the changes are visible/widget is updated.
problems (cosmetic):
- The style settings do not really suit a taskbar placement. "Text only" is way
to big (example: network speed takes a huge amount of horizontal space because
of its labels, same for cpu/text only)
- The scalings (e.g. barcharts) are to small to be usable. There are other
widgets (e.g. https://store.kde.org/p/1527636/) which do this better (but, they
have other problems: they don't scale with the taskbar height nor with the
display-configuration 'scale' parameter)
I would appreciate the 'default' widgets to be usable in taskbar as well, maybe
with some special mode that is suitable for such a small space
