Summary: New feature: Bring back the ring switcher as an
alternative possible task switcher
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Target Milestone: ---
In the (long long ago, > 5 years ago) past, I used KDE with compiz that had a
task switcher called "ring switcher", that would show the current task windows
all together in the shape of a 3D-ring with the bottom part of that ring being
very close to the screen, displaying larger windows, and the top part being
"further away", showing very small windows.
I currently use the flip switcher which works so-so okay-ish, but it is often
still hard to see exactly what window I am looking for. I recall that the ring
switcher being awesome for
1. It had ALL windows directly visible. The bottom ones being larger, top one
smaller, but all were visible and it was very easy to switch to the correct
window when you had 20 windows open on your desktop
2. It looked amazing, which I used as a bling-bling selling feature of why KDE
and Linux are so awesome to work with
I don't think KDE has ever had such a thing, which was really sad, because I
remember it was actually very useful.
