<p>We could work around not having an option by spawning a notification "Audio in %application has been muted. Click on the audio icon again to re-enable it". But then you'd probably want to have an option to remove the notification...</p>
<p>As for options overload, based on the reasoning above and the fact that we've recently split up the options and that we have space, I don't agree that this should be approached through the prism of UI clutter.</p>
<p>The Chrome example was more to show that users want this sort of a feature. Which is why I don't think:</p>
<blockquote style="border-left: 3px solid #a7b5bf; color: #464c5c; font-style: italic; margin: 4px 0 12px 0; padding: 4px 12px; background-color: #f8f9fc;"><p>No, if that bug report comes and comes repeatedly, we know it's a bad feature and drop it again.</p></blockquote>
<p>would be the right approach. Also, generalizing this position and applying it to some existing cases would probably be troublesome.</p>
<p>The suggestion about the hover effect though is a nice one +1</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R119 Plasma Desktop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D19822">https://phabricator.kde.org/D19822</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>faridb, Plasma, VDG, ngraham, filipf, hein<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>rooty, hein, filipf, mvourlakos, ngraham, broulik, plasma-devel, jraleigh, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart<br /></div>
