Even the "Share Anonymous Usage Information" page where you have to scroll down in windowed mode compared to no scrolling maximized? As for the user changing anything, like maximizing it, what is the problem with respecting the user's preference on his own computer? Is the update changelog using exactly the same window as the welcome center? What if I prefer to maximize the update changelog too and read it like that? Should I have to do that again on the next update? I for example hate the fact that Plasma doesn't have a general option in the System settings to set the "Open maximized" preference once and for all for all new windows that have not been opened before to have something to remember. So I have to "teach" every every single window that I prefer it to be maximized if I open it next time. If I have "taught" the Welcome Center that I prefer it maximized, if I open it again, I would have no problem that the Update changelog window will also open as maximized as that's my general preference. Plus having windows maximized helps me focus only on that content of that window, and not distract me with the windows that I might have stacked behind, some maybe with something flashing, or videos playing like a web browser, video players, audio players with music visualizations, etc. Maybe in the future I will also set some nice video wallpaper so that would also be distracting if I have something to read in a window. In my opinion, as long as Plasma doesn't have a way to set a general opening size preference, it's ok to open windows as windowed, in the center of the screen, but if the use has maximized it once, that should be remembered for the next time it open the same thing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
