Should I add support for that in KWin? It's pretty trivial :-)
I am using a virtualbox on a macbook as my work/devel machine (yes, that hurts) and the Mac menu bar pops up every time I hit the top border with the mouse. I find it most irritating, since the menu bar is totally useless for me, but on the other hand I sometimes try to hit the top border to trigger krunner because I feel like “something” should happen. In short: i have mixed feelings about it; sorting out exceptions could prove to be quite difficult indeed. Let's add the feature and see how it goes. ;) __J _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
