Bug ID: 472894
Summary: Bring back "Windows Go Below" and "Windows Go Above"
Panel visibility modes
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: qt6
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
These visibility modes were not removed deliberately as a result of an
intentional design decision, but rather for technical reasons due to the port
to standardized Wayland layer-shell protocol; see
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1521 and
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2924.
In essence, these features would have been prohibitively challenging to
implement on Wayland following the port to use the layer-shell. And the
features were removed for X11 too to unify the experience across platforms and
not make the KWin code excessively complex.
This bug report tracks re-adding the features in some capacity.
Ideally before Plasma 6 ships, either these modes will be brought back, or else
we'll be able to implement Bug 349785 as an acceptable (and much-requested)
alternative.
