http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504426 Summary: It is Not Possible to Create Two Panels on Top Of each other Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: alpha096@virginbroadband.com.au QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042700 SUSE/3.0.10-1.1.1 Firefox/3.0.10 It is not possible to have more than one panel at the bottom of the screen, the top of the screen and on both sides. Panel creation is limited to one panel for top, bottom and both right and left. Example: The bottom of the screen has a default Panel. I would like to add another panel immediately above the bottom panel default and add 1 single Widget to this second bottom panel of a Task Manager - being the total length of the new Panel. As you can see by this simple example, it is not possible AND desirable to be able to have 2 or more panels on top of each other or on each side. Currently once a panel has been created at the bottom, top, each side of the screen it is not possible to create another panel as we are not offered the ability in KDE3 to have multiple panels on top of each other. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Attempt to Add a New Panel and position it just above the default screen bottom panel. 2. 3. Actual Results: You will either end up with a panel that starts at the top and extends to the bottom of the screen which will obscure the total desktop. Expected Results: We should be able to create a panel on top of another as was functionally possible in KDE3. I am not suggesting that KDE4 Panel and Widgets are poor - not at all. KDE4 Panels and Widgets are totally unreal - Its just that we cannot have two panels on top of each other. Yes in this case we could just have a huge bottom panel, however widget placements and alignment properties do not lend themselves to this being at all easy. There is not an alignment Option of "NO Alignment" to permit the user to decide where to place widgets without having to fight against the default alignment. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
