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" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210417 KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.11.12-1-default OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® UHD Graphics 620 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
