--- Comment #4 from doncb...@gmail.com --- My bad, I see my communication error. Yes, I do very frequently have a maximized window, however, I am not saying I disagree with the decision to make the panel stop floating when a window is maximized (when Visibility is set to Always Visible). In the context of the floating panel as it stands, I'm approaching this change as KDE incrementally gaining the functionality to imitate docks like those present in macOS, elementary, and gnome. My original thought was that under the KDE default panel configuration, with floating applied, the panel filled in the gaps that would show the background to seamlessly meet with the window. It was sort of a distraction minimizing behavior, like the Adaptive setting. However, this logic breaks down for transient panel states like Windows Go Above, Windows Go Below, and Auto Hide, since they do not reserve any space and only can show over the window content, preventing the background from ever being seen if windows are tiled side-by-side or maximized. Thus, I assumed that when a transient state was set, the panel would behave like the other docks and retain its rounded corners , even if there was content behind it, because that content was just the window that the user was focusing on. In summary, I felt that the panel should remain in its floating state continuously if a transient Visibility was set. If a permanent Visibility was set, and the wallpaper could be seen, it should fill in the gap to seamlessly meet with the window content, concealing the wallpaper and minimizing distraction. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
