Bug ID: 462584
Summary: Volume and brightness flyouts are too high vertically
on the screen + design suggetions
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.4
Platform: OpenSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: eduardosare...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The small popup/flyout (don´t really know the correct name) that appears when
you change the volume or brightness with shortcut keys appears too high
vertically, almost in the middle of the screen. If you have a huge monitor
(more than 32") this problem is a lot more annoying. They constantly cover
important stuff in the screen. They should be around the same Y height as the
Windows 11 ones are, for example.
As an extra, they could also have more padding and maybe have the icons and
text slightly smaller. They look huge compared to the flyout itself. Again, we
can look at the Win11 example. They could also animate smoothly the "progress
bar" going up or down instead of just "teleporting" up and down (this would be
better than Win11 since that one also does not animate).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Just use any keyboard shortcut to change volume or brightness, look at the
flyout.
2. Notice that its too high vertically on the screen, almost in the middle (in
the Y coordinate), covers your content too much.
OBSERVED RESULT
It's too high vertically in the screen. Gets worse in big screens.
EXPECTED RESULT
Maybe should be a lot closer to the bottom edge of the screen.
