GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 74932
expand icon on hover in pseudo-OS/X style
Last modified: 2020-11-07 12:14:01 UTC
Package: gnome-panel Severity: enhancement Version: 1.5.13 Synopsis: eyecandy for icon of launcher, menu.. Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel Bugzilla-Component: Panel Description: I've seen KDE panel expand icon pixmap on hover. They said that it's originated from Mac Aqua. I think gnome has full requirement for the eyecandy. What about to implement? ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-03-16 07:47 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, gnome-panel-maint@bugzilla.gnome.org.
If this is implemented it needs to be done right (ala osx) i hate how kde does it.

I think it's not simple eyecandy, but important usability improvement. It's easier to notice important object (icons, main menu - "Gnome foot", etc.) in panel, when they becomes larger whenever the mouse cursor is located above them. It would be very user-friendly if launchers and main (and applications) menu in gnome-panel would enlarge if mouseover event occurs.
Right, but this should be in a gconf key, and best as an option in the panel preferences.
I suggest that these little wishlist requests be considered regularly (ie. during the twice-yearly feature discussions) during GUI HIG discussions and accepted or turfed regularly to prevent a rising number of gnome bugzilla entries. Since Gnome has moved from hacker featuritis to an elegant desktop, this is probably a necessary direction.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you still use gnome-panel and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
