Reference Screenshot
I came across a use-case that I don't think is currently possible in
latte-dock. I'd like to create a panel that is only visible if there is an
active application on the current monitor.
I've created a latte-dock panel at the top of each monitor that contains stuff
like "Window Buttons", "Window Title" and "Window AppMenu" along with my
standard system tray and other plasmoids. This works great on my primary
monitor, but on my secondary monitors, the panel only contains window-related
plasmoids, so I wouldn't mind if it was only active if that monitor had windows
currently on it. (otherwise the panel is just blank because the window
title/appmenu/button plasmoids are configured to only display on active
applications.
I currently just have it set to always visible because autohide is ugly/buggy
for me (see last paragraph for a bit more detail on that**). However, even if
autohide worked perfectly, it still allows for the possibility of moving my
mouse to that area and seeing a blank panel (which is not optimal. It would be
great if it worked exactly like the on-demand sidebars, but the toggle for it
is whether there is currently active windows on the current screen or not)
** Finally, I don't know if it is intentional or not, but "activate kwin edge"
seems to be forced on my panels, meaning autohide gets buggy (perhaps this
needs to be a different bug?) and ugly. See reference screenshot (there's this
weird blue color when I hover my mouse near the auto-hide area if kwin edge is
active. I haven't managed to get fix it without disabling it. it disables fine
on my docks but not with my panels) Not really sure what kwin edge even is.
