Bug ID: 411026
   Summary: Maintain Absolute Sidebar Size On Window Resize
   Product: okular
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
  Reporter: cameron.g.rodg...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

When the Okular window is resized, the sidebar maintains its size relative to
window size. IE, if I have deliberately changed the sidebar to 200px in width,
and I make the window twice as wide, the sidebar will become 400px wide.
This is an undesirable behavior, as the user is likely resizing the window to
get a wider view of the rendered PDF contents, and they have already decided
that the sidebar is as wide as needed for viewing, e.g., a table of contents.
Instead, the size of the sidebar should be absolute, and not change when the
window is resized.

[kwin] [Bug 411025] New: Remove Dimming Effect on Windows, Move Title Bars

Bug ID: 411025
   Summary: Remove Dimming Effect on Windows, Move Title Bars
   Product: kwin
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: effects-present-windows

The dimming effect on windows in the Present Windows effect makes it harder to
immediately recognize their contents, as they have less contrast with the
dimmed background. This is compounded by the location of title bars (if they're
enabled), right in the middle of the windows, obscuring their contents. The
title bar location also makes the title bars harder to read too.

Here are some screenshots of similar effects in GNOME, Windows 10, and MacOS:

As you can see, the dimming (if present) is not applied to the windows, and the
title bars are either to the bottom or top. This is better for readability. I
think that at very least, an option to apply this setting in the effect would
improve KDE's looks and usability.
