[Bug 268772] [NEW] Toolbar Icon Label Default Setting | QA Testing

[Celeste Lyn Paul]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kubuntu-default-settings

Opening a QA bug to help keep track of how many people test new toolbar
icon default in Kubuntu Intrepid during Alpha and Beta releases.

For Intrepid, we are changing the default toolbar icon text position to
Text Alongside Icons. This was a suggestion made by the KDE Oxygen and
Usability projects as a way to improve the aesthetic and usability of
the toolbars.  The previous default was Text Under Icons.  This
configuration requires more vertical space (precious for widescreen
laptop users), and the varying label lengths create inconsistent spacing
between the icons.

At 1024x768, almost all application toolbars will fit in the default
window size (~25%-75% of the available screen) and all application
toolbars will fit if the window is maximized.  Also, Konqueror's toolbar
remains configured as icons-only in order to preserve as much space as
possible for the location bar.

We need users to test the default settings and window sizes to make sure
everything fits and looks good on different resolutions. To test the
settings out for yourself:

A) Install or upgrade to Kubuntu Intrepid Alpha 5 and upgrade kubuntu-default-settings (it is not in the Alpha 5 release).
or
B) Go to System Settings > Appearance > Style (Page) > Effects (Tab) and configure the Text position: option to Text Alongside Icons.

Useful feedback:
* Reporting of desktop resolution and physical monitor size
* Testing method (Alpha or System Settings)
* Screenshots of entire desktop with application in question in default or maximized sizes.
* Bugs concerning switching between toolbar label modes should be submitted upstream to bugs.kde.org.

** Affects: kubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu)
