Bug ID: 494463
Summary: Tooltips in expanded system tray are rather useless
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.2.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: System Tray

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The tooltips for entries within the expanded system tray can be quite useless.
Examples (loosely translated, my system lang is not english):
- Tooltip for "Wayland to X11 Video Bridge" being "Wayland to X11 Video Bridge"
- Tooltip for "Display Configuration" (the thing where you can enable
presentation mode) being "Display Configuration"
- Tooltip for "Brightness and Colors" being the wall of text of:
"**Monitor brightness of Long Monitor Name 1 is at 30%**
**Monitor brightness of Even Longer Monitor Name 2 is at 50%**
**Color temperature of Nightlight at night**
Changing to day light temperature at 01:00
Use Scroll wheel to adjust monitor brightness.
Middle click to disable night light"
- The tooltip for "Devices" being "There are no devices available".
I know that some of the tooltips are also used in the lower status bar where
such quick info is maybe helpful for some. But in my opinion, repeating the
same info that i can get by just clicking on the thing, which is almost always
faster, just feels very redudant.
I'm also unsure whether putting the shortcuts in the tooltip is the best place
for them to be in. I am aware that it helps with discovery, but it feels
slightly off.
What I personally would prefer with Tooltips would be more something along the
lines of "Brightness and Color" -> Adjust brightness for individual monitors or
night light
