All right, I'll try to be constructive. Two main elements of Widget explorer is the list of categories and the list of widgets. The primary problem with categories is there are quite a lot of them, and presenting a very long list in a horizontal "strip" is bad, because you have to scroll a lot (especially with how scrolling that list is handled in 4.4) and you can't scan it at a glance. Having so many categories and making it hard to explore and navigate the list of them defeats their purpose The list of widgets makes in its current form makes it hard to both explore the widgets you have and finding one particular widget you need at the moment. Exploring the widgets is inconvenient, because you have to mouse-over every one of them to read what they are doing. Finding a particular widget is hard, because the icons are not always self-explanatory (and sometimes several widgets share icons) and text with the name of the widget is in small font (and again, sometimes you need to re-check the description to be sure that this widget is the one you're looking for) and gets clipped for long names.. Just yesterday I spent several minutes looking for widget which helps me post images/texts to the internet. It wasn't in "Internet and services" category, its icon didn't catch my eye and scanning widgets by their names is not possible with current layout. Finally I started thinking "Wait, how is the site I post text to is called... yes, pastebin!", then typed "pastebin" in the search box and finally found the widget I needed > (e.g. icons on the desktop.) Hey, I don't like icons on desktop either (though their absence is very confusing for those who switch to KDE) I like where you're going with Plasma and the concept of activities and I'm trying to do my best in telling Russian-speaking users about new developments. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
