D28152: [RFC] KWinRules KCM Redesign

[Ismael Asensio]

iasensio added a comment.


  First of all, thanks @broulik for such a thorough review and feedback!
  
  About some of your many UI comments, I've already implemented some, while I'm torn on some others, but will leave it to you VDG people decide.
  
  > - Do rules have a certain priority order, I don't really see why one would need to re-arrange them? Though the old KCM also had that, so I guess there's a reason to it
  
  AFAIK, the order affects when a window can be affected by a more general and a more specific rule, but I also don't know the details
  
  > - I think the list view should have an edit button? I hovered an item and instinctively clicked on the "export" button, thinking it would edit the rule, but one can just click the entire delegate. I found this confusing.
  
  I had had doubts about the edit button vs clicking, but agree:

  > - Generally we use regular buttons rather than tool buttons below the view for "New"
  
  Here I feel that the non-flat buttons can give a more "busy" feeling when close to the KCM buttons, while flat ones make it more clean, but I'm not strong against it:

  > - The "detect window properties" button is somewhat giant
  
  Agree.

  > - We generally don't use switches in UI
  
  I know. In this case I think a checkbox is out of the question visually and semantically, so an alternative can be the yes/no radio buttons like in the old KCM. I still slightly prefer the switch, but the radios doesn't look that bad either.

  No rush, lucky me, since now there is no place where I can run and hide 😄
