--- Comment #16 from Blazer Silving <[email protected]> --- Hey, thanks for speaking up! Yes, the new Overview is honestly good, aside from the lack of options like this. > the Windows travel farther than they used to, since I guess they're sorted by > height now? This is true, one of my biggest faults with the new layout. It's overanimated when you have many windows pinned to a static secondary screen, and honestly borders on sensory overload from an accessibility standpoint, all the stationary windows playing shuffle unnecessarily, when previously they would just ease out slightly. > Is there any chance we could see the old layouts as an addon? I'm actually working quite hard on an addon fork of Overview that restores the Natural layout and other options: https://invent.kde.org/breakingspell/kwin/-/work_items/1. My goal is to make this as easy to install as possible across multiple distros, but unfortuantely since it must be compiled, it's not as easy as just hitting "Get new effects" in System Settings. I'll be posting all updates on that link. In the meantime, it's currently easier to patch and recompile your distro's kwin package. Debian has an easy and well-documented helper (quilt) that this diff should drop right into: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6824.diff. Once patched, you get a .deb package that replaces your regular kwin. Let me know if you need help with this, there's also a thread on discuss.kde where we talk about patching OpenSUSE, which uses the same tool: https://discuss.kde.org/t/window-sorting-in-overview/40468 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
