Bug ID: 421594
Summary: [Feature Request] Allow Showing Notifications in Full
Screen
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications
Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
Reporter: cyrus.fr...@hotmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
(Not sure if this is for plasma or kwin (or both), I'm using kwin)
At the time of this writing, Plasma shell (v 5.18.5 and below), by design, do
not display any non-critical notifications to the user if any app is actively
in full-screen. Apparently, this behaviour
(https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Notifications) is intentional, and designed
to prevent potentially-revealing/embarassing moments in a presentation (for
example). Plasma leaves it to the app developer's discretion to set the
notification urgency level, meaning, if the app dev sets the urgency level to
'Critical' their notifications come through even in full-screen.
Personally, I believe this behaviour should be configurable, meaning, User
should be able to configure if they'd like to see all notifications even in
full-screen (regardless of the app's notifyrc urgency value, maybe).
An instance where the current behaviour was troublesome for me, was, few weeks
ago, I was working on a remote computer via VNC in full-screen and received
important messages from a co-worker on Slack but these notifications weren't
visible until I exited the full-screen because Slack's notifications are
'Normal' urgency.
