Description Greyson R. Brown 2010-10-14 10:50:22 CDT

Feature request.

I would like to see an option added to base TDE that allows the task bar to display icons only. Currently, the taskbar section of the KDE/TDE panel configuration has a check box that lets users select whether or not the icon is present (effectively creating an icon with text option and a text only option). I would like to see this changed to a drop-down selection menu or a group of radio buttons so that the user select between text with icon, text only, or icon only.

Thank you for considering this request.

I like this option too. Another approach would be adding a second check box as a child to the first check box. The second check box would be something like "Only show icons," like this:

| | Show application icons
    | | Only show icons

The second check box is ghosted/greyed unless the first check box is enabled. The second check box is always disabled by default.

This combination would provide three display options:

* Text only
* Text with icons
* Icons only

tdebase taskbak 'icons only' patch

This patch removes the 'Show application icons' checkbox from the taskbar configuration page and replaces it with a combobox called 'Display' where the options are 'Icons and Text' (the default option), 'Text only' and 'Icons only'.
The first two options were already available, the third mode displays only the application icons without any text and without the 'modified' icon.
The patch also modifies the behavior of the option 'Text only' to really display only text, without the 'modified' icon, which is displayed only in 'Icons and text' mode.
The patch also reduces the minimum width for a horizontal taskbar to a space that allows a column of icons, the window list button and the left/right scrollers. In this way, the taskbar can be sufficiently narrow and not waste a lot of empty space if the 'icons only' mode is selected.
Finally this patch slightly change the button height of a vertical taskbar to introduce a small gap among icons. Before the icons were pressed against each other and were not very nice.
