My only objection to that is that the grid will end up making the each window 
generally smaller until it could be hard to know what window represents what 
content. There are other methods that could be used for that, like stacking 
similar windows close together, or having really good typography to name each 
window.

Hey there,

so I've been thinking about the Present Windows effect of KWin. The default 
setting for laying the windows out is currently "Natural", but to me that 
layout looks rather random as the windows are scattered all around with 
different sizes and for me personally it's always hard jumping with eyes all 
over the screen.

Switching to Regular grid makes the layout more uniform, better aligned, 
predictable and somewhat consistent. Given that Plasma5 is now all about 
pixel-perfection and streamlineing, this change imo fits into that.

So I'd like to propose changing the default of Present Windows effect to the 
grid setting.

What do you think?

Cheers
