Hi,<br><br>After reading <a href="http://forum.kde.org/showthread.php?tid=6411">this post</a> I thought a little bit about how accidents such as this one could be avoided.<br>"Just now I hovered the yellow thing to the right of the clock, right
clicked it and selected "remove this panel". Great, now I have lost my
entire bottom bar, when all I wanted to do was rid myself of this
useless button..."<br><br>The confirm dialog prevents users from accidentally removing panels and activities. But there are also many users who want to experiment with Plasma and/or confirm the removal because they thought something else was going to be removed. Seeing your whole customized panel disappear isn't very pleasant.<br>
<br>My suggestion is as follows: <br>1. Get rid of the confirmation dialog<br>2. Show a fade out animation when a panel or activity is removed<br>3. A "box" appears in the place of the panel/activity, displaying something like<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">The panel has been removed.<br>[OK] [Undo]<br><br></div>This would allow users to get back their panel, regardless of why it was removed. It will also make them feel relieved if it was a mistake instead of leaving them thinking "wtf?". At least, that's what I believe.<br>
The box will disappear if you click [OK], but I don't know if it's a good idea to hide them after a set time. In the case of Activities, maybe the boxes can disappear once you zoom in again.<br><br>Your thoughts?<br>
<br>With best regard,<br>Hans Chen<br><br>
