           Summary: user gui profiles for different devices/applications
                    (tv, mobile/pda, beamer, media center..)
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: zyagon gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

the computer -> monitor era is over. computers are connected to tv's and beamers, remotely controlled with pda's/mobile phones and 'interfaced' through media centers. kde could deal with different screen sizes/resolutions/applications implementing user-gui profiles with "intelligent-defaults" for habitual scenarios than could also be customized:

* computer video mode:

- tv out: use lower resolution than pc screens typ. >1600x1200, use big fonts
- hdmi out: use hd resolution, use big fonts
- pda/mobile remote connection: use low resolution/color dp, use small fonts
- mini laptops/tablet pc's: small screens 7-10", small resolution, small fonts 
- vga out of laptops and devices with small screens can use higher resolution
 
- deal with multi-screen setup's with all the above 

* media center mode: big fonts/icons interface to launch multimedia apps
  on (hd) tv's, beamers and pc monitor

* screen sharing mode:
  desktop/media center streaming (share and show shared as "channels"/gui-profiles/screens)

(last two points requiere new or third party applications that are not related to this wish/
bug system but they're provided as examples of applications that could be adapted/programmed around this gui-profile system, ex: xxx multimedia player could show a different gui's, classic when running in pc mode, remote controled simple gui when launched from media-center, etc giving the possibility to future versions of 3rd party programs to "sense" on what kind of screen they're)
