Bug ID: 486701
Summary: Windows can cover is missing from panels
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: myusualnickn...@gmail.com
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
I am installing a testing version of neon
When I go to help/about KDE it does not give me any version info, that is
another bug..
Qt is 6.7 frameworks is 6.2, dolphin is 24.02.2
The premier feature on KDE for me that I show everybody, is the "Windows can
cover" option in the edit mode for panels. It makes the panel discoverable,
and it pops over other windows when the mouse goes to thr bottom, it is a great
compromise between hidden panels and normal panels.
I don't know what the Dodge windows does other than make the panel harder to
find. It may be what someone wants, but I've been promoting KDE to people for
years and windows can cover is just the coolest.
I consider it a bug to be missing from the visibility options. Please add it
back, I'll put money where my mouth is on this one.
I honestly think floating panels are a miss-feature, as they make computers
harder to use, but if someone thinks they look nice, I'm not gonna be able to
stop it.
I do think they should not be default, it wastes screen space and well, that is
a different topic.
thank you.
