Bug ID: 492508
Summary: Hide on hover panel visibility
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.4
Platform: unspecified
OS: Unspecified
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: j...@ristioja.ee
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
I'm thinking of migrating away from GKrellM and would like to configure a
GKrellM-like Plasma panel with System Monitor widgets showing
CPU/RAM/SSD/network usage and such, which would be separate from my
Windows-style main panel as these widgets would not fit there.
The best alternative I was able to achieve with Plasma 6.1.4 was to configure a
fit content floating panel with the necessary widgets which stays on top of
other windows. The problem is that I'm not able to interact with windows below
the panel, and in contrast to GKrellM it is not possible to move the panel to
another place by dragging it. But to be honest, moving GKrellM around quite
frequently has also become quite annoying. I wish the panel would always be
visible and just hide itself when I hover over it, I only need to interact with
it in edit mode.
The alternative visibility options do not suffice. "Auto hide" is hidden by
default and only shows when I move the cursor to the edge of the screen,
whereas I want the panel to be always visible and only hide on hover. "Dodge
windows" and "Always visible" restrict the amount of screen space available to
windows.
Please consider adding a new visibility option to hide the panel on hover.
PS: Another use-case for something like this has also been been discussed on
