What is not obvious is the fact that the
"old" system monitor is
inextrinsically linked to ksysguard in a way that you could define monitors
in ksysguard with all relevant parameters, i.e. defined range, color,
sensor, vertical and horizontal lines and then drag&drop them into the
panel.
Please excuse the plagiarism, but comment here to back the feature request up:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191377
Always the same, no difference between starting an
application, viewing
the desktop, and as soon as you got a couple of windows open the taskbar
icons have just the same size, making the whole panel look like an icon
regatta.
When you mention icons, do you mean Taskbar tasks? I really don't
understand this, please reword. Thanks. There are only two states of an icon. Full colored and
slightly opaque when
you move the mouse pointer over it. There is no difference between hovering
with the mouse and clicking it. Screenshot doesn't help in this case.
But I need a KDE 3 screenshots of the different states to show them
how you'd like it. Trust me, that's the only way to file the bug such
that it won't be ignored. Otherwise the dev has too much left to his
imagination.
* Applets/widgets
Whatever you call them. The plug in device thingy is useless. I want to
mount/unmount a device, not use one specific application for that.
You can do that from within Dolphin, you don't need the plasmoid (ha!
Not applet and not widget!) for that. As I said, my file manager is 5 two letter words and
I'd like to use it with
pluggable devices. Give me a mount/umount/properties option on pluggable
devices and I'll be happy. I don't need graphical overhead to do simple file
operations.
Can you not mount from the CLI? Or if HAL automounts the device, why
can you not access it in /media or wherever else it is mounted?
Please give an example of your KDE 3 workflow so that I can see what
is missing in KDE 4.
And I'd like my
weather applet that I can I can actually read, not some gray on gray
thingy.
Amen! Be specific as to what you would like changed, though. Don't
ever leave the dev/designer to guess! 1. Gray on gray sucks.
That's in the report
2. Hovering with mouse I want information: Location,
forecast, Air pressure
You must click, not hover. I added a request for hovering, and for
location. Forecast is a different plasmoid, and air pressure is
already included.
3. I want icons that say overcast, sunny, rainy, snow
etc.
In the bug report!
Basically: give me all the looks and functions of the
3.5 weather applet.
But just stating this won't get you anywhere, trust me. You must ask
for each separate feature separately and specifically. That is because
everything is being recoded from scratch.
I'd rather discuss them here first, because this
gives me the opportunity of
seeing whether other people feel the same way or whether there is a
different way of getting the same results in 4.2 that I haven't figured out
yet.
That is a good attitude. Thanks for your input!
PS: I'd like my dynamic background back. I used to
have a desktop background
with xplanet updating every 10 minutes, giving me the day/nigh line on
earth, something that I find very helpful as a ham radio operator.
Here is a screenshot:

Give me some time to search BKO on that, it sounds familiar.
