<implementation detail> if it may help, for the bits that are done by plasma-shell itself (would be possible for widget explorer and activity manager, not for window switcher and krunner so) the thing doesn't even have to be a window, since the window object itself is instantiated in QML (this done for Active that has the activity switcher on the desktop itself) so they could be in the desktop view, making the desktop containment slide at one side and all (but yeah, doesn't help much since it still needed a solution for when it's drawn by another process) Cheers, Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
