Bug ID: 444734
Summary: Move the functionality of Active Window Control into
Task Manager
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: elyp...@yahoo.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Active window control allows to save on vertical screen real estate by hiding
the titlebar and moving its content into the control bar. While this works
decently well this means the active window will always be displayed twice. once
in the task manager and once with active window control. this will never look
cohesive, is a little confusing and it wastes space.
The only way to solve this would be to combine the 2 components. When
maximizing a window its title bar content would be displayed in place of the
application tab in the task manager. The space would be scaled to fit the title
and the window decorations. optimally this would be rendered in the system set
window decoration style and add tab visual cues that connect the title entry
with the maximized window below.
There used to be a netbook mode for mate and there is active window control for
kde but none of them was ever a cohesive experience. this would be a great way
to set kde apart from other desktops on small screens by using space
efficiently and elegantly. especially landscape devices like the steam deck and
small laptops could profit from that.
