So we have people in the camp "don't waste space with padding, please" and then, each time a KDE discussion appears "how the hell can they cram so many information and text with no padding, it's unreadable" camp.
Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
- medstrom 3y agoThat's why much like the dark/light mode switch has become standard, "compact"/"touch mode" should too.
- Fnoord 3y agoGoing full circle Hildon / Maemo.
- Klonoar 3y agoKDE is fine with little to no padding. Their problem is often that they have inconsistent padding/spacing, which just throws everything off as death by a thousand cuts.
- SamuelAdams 3y agoWell, yes and no. Different people want a different user experience. So this strikes me as a need for a new user configurable option. Make a new user option, so it is easy for users to compact information if they want to. It sucks having to support multiple states (more things to test and verify) but it seems like there is an audience for both ideas.
- account42 3y agoFirefox did have such an option - they removed it (or rather significantly gimped it) with the Proton UI update.
- jlarocco 3y agoThe mistake is to think there's a single "right" way to do it. Either make the UI flexible enough to accomadate everybody's personal preferences, or accept that some people won't like it and will choose something else.
