then you'd have to change it to a vbox for vertical panels. imho, easier to make a separate applet and put it beside the pager. oh, but then you lose the "hide it when composite is off" feature. hmmmm. yeah, maybe that is a reason to put it in there. and then someone could make a more advanced generic-kwin-effect plasmoid if they feel like it. if there isn't such a thing on kde-look already. > > > > > > > that yes, i do think that having to totally switch away from what > > > you're doing is bad. however, the screen space is limited, even on a > > > big screen, because the windows often use almost 100% of the available > > > space, even if there were 200 square metrers. > > > this is a problem in plasma in general, the desktop is often exactly > > > that modal thing opposed to every possible window that stays over it, > > > i'm trying hard to think about a possible solution but yet failing (the > > > magnifying glass thing being the best attempt on that) > > > > yeah...
