Small enhancement similar to "finder" #4

Closed emmyvinte closed 7 months ago

emmyvinte commented 7 months ago

Hi, I was thinking of a fix for a "visual problem". The text in the placeholder (name that stays on the screen without any app open) usually has two text customization options, being: normal, bold.

My suggestion would be to be able to choose between the first word in bold (or have some kind of tag to mark it) to create more harmony with the desktop environment. That way, when there is no app open, those who like to customize the plasma theme similar to macOS, would have the same "finder" (when the application is open, only on the desktop).

Thanks in advance.

App, name app bold, "menu" normal: image

Desktop, all bold: image placeholder text: (Dolphin File Edit View Go Tools Settings Help)

Maybe what you are looking for is the Global Menu Applet. It already exists and is pre-installed on your system.

Looks something like this... image

The feature you are asking for makes no sense, I am closing this issue.

I don't think I was clear enough, what I meant was that when you're only on the desktop, with no app open, both the global menu and the extension (that one) are left without text, in which case you can place a placeholder, but it puts all the text in bold (unlike, for example, when you have an app open, like Dolphin, where the app's name is in bold and its menu is in normal letters - I know it's another extension).

What I'm talking about is bringing an option to customise the text of this extension so that when on the desktop, with no app open, I can add a placeholder similar to the open dolphin, as in the screenshot you sent.

Thanks again.

I recorded this video (it's not on plasma 6, but the example is valid):

Sorry, I know it's a small detail. Unfortunately I can't take my eye off these little things

I do get what you mean, but this might come across as confusing to many people if added as an option.

Here is a cool workaround for you... Use HTML tags!

Example: <b>dolphin<b> File Search Edit View

PS: I still don't get why you'd want these text labels looking like buttons which do nothing.
