Bug ID: 459034
Summary: Implement shaded window feature
Product: kwin
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: h...@urpla.net
Target Milestone: ---
In order to not disrupt long term users, and to create further momentum for
switching to wayland,
I kindly ask for implementation of the window shaded feature similar to what we
have in X11.
X11 does manage a boolean (toggle) flag called SHADED. If active, the window is
drawn with the window content height set to zero. The window geometry isn't
affected from this flag, and as such, such a window could be persisted in the
session handling. After session restart, such a window is restored with its
original size, but again, the screen representation is restored with height
zero.
The popularity of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450582 demonstrates,
that a lot of long term users rely on this feature and again, such an
implementation would be required to allow them to switch over to wayland
without friction.
