<p>Hi KDE Devs,<br>
</p>
<p>For GSoC2018, as a long-term KDE user/lover, I want to make 2
important improvements on KDE / Plasma-Workspace / Panel that will
increase user experience. By this mail, I'll just talk about the
improvements without any technical details. In the proposal, I'll
tell about my plan to solve the issues.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>--------------> <b>Basic Information</b><br>
I always use KDE by placing the panel left and enabling auto-hide
option and as far as I see on the Internet, there are many people
like me. I am using KDE for a long time so I know some weak parts
about the panel.<b><br>
</b></p>
<p><b>Note</b> : I am using and writing my comments according to
X11, I didn't test the issues on Wayland.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>--------------> <b>Problem 1 : Freezes on unhiding</b><br>
When I put my mouse pointer to the left corner to unhide the
panel, it has a short freeze, and sometimes very long freezes. I
think that these freezes are about widget updates because if there
is an active event on the system tray or in the desktop widgets or
there is a notification pop-up, it happens more. This is one of
the basic feature and it should be flawless, I think.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>--------------> <b>Problem 2 : Auto-hide sensitivity</b><br>
There is no setting for changing the sensitivity of unhiding
event. There should be a setting to change this sensitivity like
in Unity. (in unity, it is called "Reveal sensitivity")<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>I tried this issues in another computers and they are common.
After the discussion, if you think positive about this tasks or
one of them, I'll submit the proposal.</p>
<p>Thanks for your interest!<br>
