<para>Sometimes it is reassuring to know that your computer didn't just
|
|
ignore your command, and something is happening behind the scenes. In
|
|
this module you can configure visible feedback to help you know if you
|
|
really hit that icon or not.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The traditional way to indicate that your computer is busy is to
|
|
modify the cursor, and you can turn this on by choosing a
|
|
<guilabel>Cursor</guilabel>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>With this option enabled, your cursor will have an icon attached
|
|
to it for a short time, when a new application is being launched. You
|
|
can configure how long this icon is displayed beside your cursor with the
|
|
<guilabel>Stop animation after:</guilabel> spinbox. The
|
|
default is 5 seconds.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There are several variations of busy cursor available, including
|
|
a <guilabel>No Feedback</guilabel>, a <guilabel>Blinking</guilabel>, a
|
|
<guilabel>Bouncing</guilabel> or a <guilabel>Static</guilabel> cursor
|
|
icon with no animation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Traditional &plasma; launch notification has taken another form,
|
|
which you can also enable and disable here. Normally when you start an
|
|
application, it gets an immediate entry in the taskbar, with the icon
|
|
replaced by a spinning hourglass to let you know something is
|
|
happening. You can toggle this behavior on and off with the
|
|
<guilabel>Enable animation</guilabel> checkbox.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Not all applications that you start will eventually show a window, or
|
|
an entry in the taskbar. Some of them, for example, are docked into the
|
|
&plasma; system tray. Alternatively, it might be that you sent it off to a
|
|
different virtual desktop, and in the <guilabel>Behavior</guilabel> section
|
|
of the <ulink url="help:/plasma-desktop/panel.html"> <guilabel>Task Manager
|
|
Settings</guilabel></ulink> the option <guilabel>From the current
|
|
desktop</guilabel> is checked for the <guilabel>Show only tasks</guilabel>
|
|
switcher. Setting a timeout ensures that, even in these cases, you can
|
|
still get launch feedback, but also that it will go away when the job is
|
|
done.</para>
