On Mac OS you have the WiFi applet but you can also control the WiFi from the control center. And you are free to choose what you want to use. KDE is all about choices so this seems like a good way to implement on KDE. And yeah KDE is that last major DE to be lacking a control center.
I would be down with that. Its a good idea. There are a lot of things that Plasma is missing, or seem to be really dated in appearance and ergonomics. Online accounts being another one. And IMO Ksettings (and most configuration dialogs) is an ergonomic disaster. I hate the changes they made to it with Plasma 6, especially the big long monolithic listā¦ gaaaaa.
Thereās also:
I feel that Android have done a great job at quick settings(not the miui like roms which is replica of iOS), implementing it that way will help for those using plasma on touch tablets type PCs too. But as like all it needs customisation.
But instead of implementing this as new feature. The existing system tray popup menu can have some design changes to achieve similar things.
That way existing system tray icons actions like middle click for wifi off etc can be used as well.
Just improve the UI of the system tray popup menu and itāll be helpful too instead of implementing something totally new
Yes this is what I am saying add it as on optional feature and see how many people use it .
I think in the three examples, only the Gnome one makes sense. IIRC, it contains everything, including 3rd-party programs, within a single panel.
Both the Windows one and the KDE one are bad in that they have duplicate icons like āwifiā and āvolumesā in both the control center and systray. Also, 3rd-party icons are in the systray, making them one-click-less, thus more āimportantā than system icons. Is that right?
To summarize, IMO if we are to have a control center, it must replace the systray, not co-living with it.
Interesting take , 3rd party integration would be the kde way
Since Control Centre isnāt being updated here is a good replacement,
