Load application mouse style

Sun Nov 14, 2010 11:51 am
Kde now by default use to show the application icon jumping nest to the cursor.
For me it looks old now and I will prefer a simple mouse cursor load indicator.

The application icon is show also in process bar so I think its useless to show 2 times the same thing.
So I ask for the possibility to chose this on mouse control panel.
Wath do you think ?

For the task bar you mean disabling it? There is an option for this in System Settings / System Notifications (first row, last column.. I'm sorry, in spanish it has a different name hehe) / Launch Notification (whatever the name it has.. last section).

For the "jumping icon" it also can be configured there.

I think the idea is to use the normal KDE busy cursor rather than the application icon. I tried this and couldn't get it to work. You can have a bouncing icon, blinking icon, stationary icon, or a regular mouse, but there is no option as far as I can see to use the busy cursor.

Never liked that coffee-jittered bounce :P

Actually, just thinking about this, the one problem with that busy icon is that I don't know where I can click with. A tad annoying. What if the icon was showed in the the notification "i" slot along with the "busy" animation of the notification icon? (I know, separate idea, but yeah)

There is the icon that has the busy spinner and a mouse cursor
