Mike Schwager <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #84 from Mike Schwager <[email protected]> --- So I had a long talk with the AI, using Dave Edmundson's comment, I feel like I have a better understanding of the issues with CSDs. And why it's so precarious to try and create a window shade/. I have an idea: Since the compositor is in control of the window in which apps are displayed, why not have a hotkey (maybe even mouse gesture) that takes the current active window and minimizes it, but leaves a titlebar-like KWin effect onscreen that also behaves like a window (other windows can paint above it, you can move it, it stays in a desktop)? The key feature of a shade, to me, is to have the window "roll up" to the titlebar. I don't care if it's really a titlebar, I just want it out of the way but still out on my screen; ultimately that's what a window shade is- a small reminder of the window remains visible on the desktop. Would something like this be an acceptable alternative? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
