Mouse scrolling and plasmoids

Fri Feb 03, 2012 4:15 am
If one puts the mouse cursor over kmix and moves the mouse wheel, he or she can quickly change the volume.Why can't brightness be changed in a similar fashion by scrolling when the cursor is over the battery plasmoid? The brightness bar and volume bar already look alike! So why doesn't the brightness bar have a percentage at the end as seen on the volume bar?

I aslo think that this idea can be applied to other plasmoids such as Klipper. If the one scrolls over Klipper, Klipper opens and the "currently clipped data" will be selected (yet, the clipped options stay in the order they are originally in).

If that is a bad way to make Klipper interact with the mouse wheel: Klipper already shows a tooltip of the currently clipped item, so why not at least be able to scroll from the tooltip to select other items?


Screenshot showing the two bars look similar. (It's just for reference, I know it's obvious they look alike. Plus, I was bored!)

Please move your Klipper idea into a separate brainstorm idea.

Keep in mind that the battery isn't always shown, such as when plugged in.
