T13072 System Settings general layout Mock up
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

I'll just say I'm more focused right now on the overall layout and style of apps than the entire, section by section detailing of each kcm, unless that's the intent. As such, my mock up of System Settings will have lots of empty kcm sections and icons. I do, however, make or try to make as much of a diversified layout for each environment (full sized desktop, small desktop/tablet, phone/mobile). Again, a lot is based on @manueljlin mock up UI design decisions, the less change in small details the easier it is to update and improve them all at once later on.

All in order of display size and content navigation.

Looks nice!

I'm not sure if I think we need for the sections to be collapsible though. Feels like that would just encourage people to collapse them, which would lead to them having to later un-collapse them to access the items inside.

You mean in all display modes or just mid/small and touch screen?

All display modes.

Alright I'll remove them. I'm always trying to keep the mindset that someone someday might need it but it makes sense to get rid of them, mouse wheels are easy to roll and fingers scroll is easier.

Exactly my thinking. :)

Application style unified. No gtk2.

ngraham moved this task from Backlog/Planned to Done on the VDG board.

These are nice mockups, but I think they're largely duplicative of other ones at this point, and we've even moved in the direction of implement a lot of this stuff. No need to keep the task open. Thanks for the nice mockups!

Why not utilise the tree-view that is present within the "Folders" panel of Dolphin? That would mean that retainment of the current organisation is possible, without ascertaining how to improve the current weird implementation of multiple side-bars. Additionally, because addition of KConfig Modules to systemsettings5 by many distributions shall continue, organisation would be more easy, because the tree-view would adapt properly.
