Hi. I just read Nate's
https://pointieststick.com/2022/12/31/highlights-from-2022/, in which he said
"Our list of showstoppers continues to shrink, and new issues added to it are
or notably less bad than the ones they replace. ... And if you’re tempted to
grumble, “well, Wayland still doesn’t work for me for $REASON,” please do it in
a bug report so developers can fix it!". So, i decided to make a bug report for
W's lack of window shading, but found this [& other] existing BRs for it.
Your Wayland progress has been collectively wonderful [thanks!], such that
since 5.25.x i've been able to use it as my daily tool for large swathes of
contiguous session-time. Every now & then, though, i retreat to X11 for two
main reasons; 1. The ongoing misbehaviour in W of PiP, per
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/issues/44; 2. the
tragic ongoing lack of window shading in W, per this current bug report. In the
next few hours when i've completed some current stuff, i intend to logout of W
& back into X again, as i genuinely miss those very productive features.
I'd like to record these:
a. afaik this problem has never been included in the Showstoppers at
https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers; certainly at least it's
not there now nor for the past year. For MY use-case, it IS a showstopper, & i
suspect i'm far from alone.
b. Martin, above, said "it does not have a high priority as shading is nowadays
a hardly used feature". That statement shocks me, so i wish to strenuously
protest it as a counter-opinion.
c. Yan, above, said "This feature, historically unique to KDE since many
years". I don't think this is correct. Cinnamon & Xfce, at least, most
definitely have shading [X11 only, ofc], so Plasma's absence of this in Wayland
is a distinct functionality degradation IMO.
Please, can we Shaders have any cause for hope in Plasma 5.27.x's or more
likely 6.x's Wayland?
