(Updated May 29, 2016, 5:41 p.m.) Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X and KDE Frameworks. Changes ------- Updated for git/head, so as to give a little nudge Repository: knotifications Description ------- OS X has a number of limitations in features used by KNotifications, notably concerning the status notifier item (aka system tray icon). This RR will likely evolve to address multiple limitations (at least also the NeedsAttention state); at the moment it only proposes an emulation of `QMenu::addSection`. `QMenu::addSection` works by adding a QAction with a "texted separator" at the insertion location. Texted separators do not exist in menu items in the OS X "global" menubar (they become regular separators), and Qt will not provide a platform-specific implementation. Loss of the section title text is maybe not always an issue, but I think it is in the system tray menu. I therefore propose to emulate `QMenu::addSection` by replacing the texted separator with an inactive (disabled) menu item that shows the text, followed by a standard separator. Menus in the notification area are much less subject to interface guidelines, so the presence of an item icon is acceptable and IMO useful for the `titleAction`. Testing the NeedsAttention state with the tests/kstatusnotifieritemtest application leads to disappearance of the menubar icon, i.e. the access to the notifier menu becomes invisible rather than blinking (which is what I get on Linux using the same packaging). Adding a few qDebug statements shows that the `attentionIcon` is empty. I'd appreciate a crash course how this feature is supposed to work, so I can see if an OS X implementation might be feasible.
