ghost34 added a comment to T12441: Consider using a vertical Icons-Only Task Manager populated with apps, and a thickened panel.

The vertical panel is a recognizable feature of Ubuntu, more precisely Ubuntu have horizontal panel on top (there is a time/date and system tray) and vertical dock/dash on the left (there is only a apps).


In this task offers to fit everything in vertical panel, that looks ugly if compared it with Ubuntu, especially system tray and time/date.

Some folks in the VDG channel have objected to the panel being 48px tall, so here's how it would look at 38 (the default Windows panel height):

Not as touch-friendly, but the clock text looks better and it won't be so huge for people using low-DPI screens. However 38 is not easy to calculate by our existing units so it would likely need to be hardcoded.

I agree, the proposed "KDE OS" version of Neon should continue to strive to be as vanilla as possible. It doesn't make sense to create a showpiece for KDE software that diverges from what KDE software does by default. If the default is bad, change the default. :)

I think a large part of this task is simply admitting that Neon is already an OS, and being proud of this fact rather than trying to hide it in the futile effort to avoid upsetting people who are already upset. Slimbook ships it on hardware. My wife who is sitting next to me has it on her laptop. It's an OS; if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. :)

I don't think Promo is the place to start carrying out this task. It seems to me that you would need to incentivise some deeper changes in KDE neon before thinking of promoting it as feature-complete distribution. As you say:

I really want to see KDE neon as the flagship os, but to realistically, this is requires to (hard) development.

And the Promo workboard is not where you should be asking for support to do that, (a) because we don't do that kind of thing in Promo -- it is more a developer/packager thing; and (b) because we don't tell others what they should do. We work with the end product, not influence (or try to influence) what that end product should be.

I do agree that this would be a good thing to promote when the first part, the part where you turn neon into a feature-complete distribution, is completed, but to carry out that, I think you have to take this task to another board.

That's basically the current style (ours uses a slider instead of blocks, but that's not a big difference). The problem we're trying to solve with is that some people complain about the large square OSD style because changing the volume while watching a full-screen video results in the OSD briefly obscuring the center of the video. macOS suffers from the same problem with their large square OSD, so it is a legitimate concern.

Though I like the status quo for aesthetics, I find myself gravitating towards variant 1 as my favorite solution to the problem described here. The biggest drawback with this style is that it can obscure subtitles in full-screen videos if it's positioned too high up. But if it's positioned quite close to the bottom of the screen, maybe that concern can be alleviated?

We can always not having anything on top.

A few thoughts about the mockup:

  • Search button placement is not good. It's visually disconnected from the part of the UI it affects (Dolphin has the same problem)
    • Elisa currently puts it in a very good spot
  • Main control bar is too wide and tall.
  • Elisa seems to built around playlists, so adding a way to quickly access them to the sidebar is a good idea that can be adapted into the current design.
  • Is the heart Last.fm integration? Isn't that out of fashion now?
  • The repeat and shuffle buttons look like they're on opposite sides for visual balance, but it's better for usability to put them next to each other. They're strongly related to each other and are placed next to each other in every other music player.

"I personally don't like it" is not a good reason to change something. Having the playback controls on top is natural since it puts them into the app's toolbar area, where most apps have their global tools and actions.

Based on this screenshot, I don't think Elisa needs a complete redesign. It mainly needs the following:

  • More colorscheme compatibility, unless that has already been fixed
  • We need to decide if some of the styling for its UI elements should be changed to match the Breeze widget style or if our widget style should be changed to match Elisa
  • Pixel perfect icons (maybe colorful icons, but monochrome looks so nice here), but this is mainly a breeze-icons problem, unless Elisa is using 24px icons.
