Summary: [kde5] [User experience] Desktop corner trigger for
showing all windows should also darken screen with
just a single window
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jonas@thiem.email
The desktop corner trigger for showing all windows should also darken screen
with just a single window. Using the desktop corner becomes quite an intuitive
action over time about which you don't think so much, so it kind of "happens"
intuitively and I might even use it when there is just a single application
open. However, nothing visually happening at all as a result is then very
irritating and feels very inconsistent.
I understand this was probably meant to be "smart" by not doing anything when
there are no windows to switch between, but I see no obvious benefit in this
supposed smart behavior and it results in inconsistency and possibly even
confusion (for new users trying to test if this functionality is available
similar as seen in GNOME 3) Therefore I think KDE shouldn't be smart here just
for the benefit of being smart when there is no real reason and it is
potentially confusing users.
Therefore, please make the "hot corner" action for seeing all windows on the
desktop always trigger the window overview with darkened desktop & descriptions
over the windows, even when there is just one window.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a single window only
2. Move mouse to top-left corner (with the default of show all windows on
desktop hot corner action)
Actual Results:
Nothing happens
Expected Results:
Overview is shown in visually the same way as for multiple windows, even for
just a single window
