--- Comment #54 from ✨ Audrey ✨ <[email protected]> --- It wasn't disabled. It's not supported by the wayland protocol, which delegates control of a window to the client. There is an open MR, but it seems that it hasn't been worked in about 3 years: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/1183 Even to get that MR ready would take a lot of work, and there's no clear benefit. Firstly, shading would require a protocol extension to communicate window state to client applications to avoid unnecessary client reflow. Second, it would introduce even more complexity to the boxes KWin needs to track per-window. Third, it would only work when you're running on the KWin compositor, since Mutter/etc don't have plans to implement it. Forth, it would only work with KDE applications. To sum up, there's a substantial amount of downstream complexity that this would introduce. It's not clear to the current KWin maintainer that implementing the feature is worth that complexity. They're the one that would be fielding bugs for all of the edge-cases that don't work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
