[Request]: Better implementation of telling the user to install optional components

Open Perkolator opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Tell us the problem or your need

The current implementation of tooltips to install mangohud/vkbasalt/gamescope/OBS is not a good way to inform the users to install optional components.

Why?

  1. The tooltip is visible only when hovering the mouse on the on/off slider button.
  2. The settings can be turned on/off just by clicking the text area too (I didn't notice any tooltips mainly because of this until I was told about this in other issue).
  3. The tooltip instruction includes a lengthy string that the user needs to type manually to the terminal.

Describe the solution you'd like

Proposing:

  1. Show the install instruction in the text area of that setting (maybe in a different color?).
  2. Have a "copy install command to clipboard" button?
  3. Have a button that would launch the install procedure in terminal?

Either one of these, or all of them?

Other solutions?

I think a popover with a warning symbol should suffice.

Something like this:

Shame that the mockup from TheEvilSkeleton was never implemented.
