Bug ID: 435917
Summary: Show desktop preview (w/windows) in Activity Switcher
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.21.4
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Activity Switcher
Assignee: ivan.cu...@kde.org
Reporter: philipp.reichm...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The Activity Switcher currently shows only the desktop background of each
Activity. However, I use desktop backgrounds that change (Slideshow and Picture
of the Day), so they are not instantly recognizable. I would prefer if I could
see a preview of the desktop as it is, with all active windows.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press Meta-Q to bring up the activity switcher.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Activity switcher shows an empty desktop background for each activity.
EXPECTED RESULT
The Activity Switcher should show the whole currently-active desktop with all
windows.
For users who prefer to see the desktop background, there should be a
configuration option, e.g. "Show windows in activity switcher"
