    I wish standard audio controls plasmoid in KDE would use vertical slide bars, like Kmix.

      Well, then you can't add a label next to it. We write horizontally.

        Well, come on like this! I'm really happy with how Plasma 5 is evolving, which has become my favorite DE.

          have you tried using the scroll wheel on your mouse (assuming you're using one)

          I suspect the choice is that when multiple app outputs on multiple devices are occurring it packs a bit denser horizontally.

            When I read about the scroll wheel I remembered that, to this day, Windows users cannot use their mouse's wheel to up/down the volume, something so natural to Linux users. That and the copy/past of the middle click turns my Windows experience into a sad thing.

              If I click the volume icon on my Windows 10 taskbar and put the cursor on the volume bar, mouse wheel scrolling to increase/decrease volume works fine.

                You don't need to click anywhere on KDE, simply hover the mouse over volume icon and scroll with mouse wheel. Less clicks, faster result.

                  I'm very happy that they switched to KF5 only. The next important step will be the Plasma 5.12 for Wayland. I really hope they can close some of the annoying bugs on Wayland like automatic scaling on a 4K screen that you cannot persistently turn off, the system freeze if you logout of Plasma-Wayland or the flickering of Kmail.

                    There are also issues with pointer confinement/locking behavior with games running atop of XWayland. Confinement doesn't always work, and the pointer often remains locked when it should not.
                    Once this issue is fixed, I can switch to the Wayland session
