GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 700943
Make the display's area a standalone widget
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:06:59 UTC
The new wireframes for the Display panel [1] is very similar to the proposed design for mapping displays to Wacom tablets [2] in what comes to showing the monitors. It makes sense to join efforts and reuse code so I think that the displays area should be a standalone widget that both panels can tweak to meet their needs. It should be a basic/independent widget that, apart from showing the stuff, just emits signals for when the user chooses or drags a monitor.

I also like that the Display panel shows a big [1] and [2] to recognize the monitors. The Wacom panel has a combo box that offers the choice between a HDMI monitor and a VGA one. I don't know from the top of my head how each of my monitors is connected.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
