@kde another feature forced really hard on users, with Konsole this time: the color preview

I can't remember when this landed in KDE as it just added to the list of "new KDE features" I tried to ignore while struggling to keep focus, but that list never ceases to expand 😬

moreover, the option to disable that color preview feature I don't need is burried deep: the only way to turn it off is by creating a new Konsole profile 🤦‍♂️

This feature got added in Konsole 21.04 which was 3 years ago

One of my favourite features love it. Happy you and people who don't want it can turn it off though so its good for all

For those who don't need/want it, go to your profile for Konsole, then go to Mouse, and then turn off "preview colours on hover"

@ohyran whoops I made a screen capture of this but didn't realize mastodon <=> lemmy gateway doesn't forward activitypub images

Love the colour preview. Love the image preview. Was going to say "I can see why some people would want to disable it", but then could not think of any reasons, so I can't. That said, OP can go to

Settings > Manage Profiles > [Their profile] > Edit > Mouse > Miscellaneous

and uncheck Preview Colour on Hover.

"Problem" solved.

Off-Topic: this is truly beautiful. I'm reading this thread in jerboa, which is a Lemmy Client for android, and yet it seems that it's actually a thread on Mastodon. I love this interoperability of the fediverse!

I use konsole daily and I've never seen this. What is it or rather how does it show up?

[–] tobozo@mastodon.social 1 points 4 months ago

@SigHunter when the mouse hovers a 24 bits hex code or a color name in the terminal, it shows a color preview tooltip containing a squared filled with that color

see the original mastodon post in context for screenshots:
