Please add zoom effect for icon only task manager

Brainstorm

It’s actually really nice got it working on nix with the kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Applet -i.

I would definitely pay towards a bounty for it. As its just right.

Okay, I got it to work. I was making things way more complicated than needed. Really nice. The zoom is cutoff by the size of the panel (not sure if this is something that can be fixed though)/the text indicator, but other than it’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for working on this @luisbocanegra, I really like where this is going. Great job really.

@luisbocanegra How do I turn off the desaturation on apps that I hover over? Should I make a feature request for this/move this convo to github?

24

It’s a limitation of this approach, not sure I can get around that

@luisbocanegra
Thanks. That worked. I was thinking for the cutoff issue: If you can make the icons stay smaller than the panel, and then we make the panel bigger you could zoom the icon without it getting cut off? The problem is that the icons scale with the size of the panel itself and that is why it’s getting cut off with either the edge of the panel or the text above. Probably be way more complicated than the other fix/need an option to change icon size somewhere in the gui.

@luisbocanegra Has the change icon size part of this program (Set icon size instead of scaling checkbox) not been implemented yet for plasma 6? I was changing it around (also the Icon Scale setting), but it did not seem to do anything (wanted to test my theory about the panel cutoff.
