(Updated Oct. 29, 2014, 11:38 a.m.)
Review request for kwin, Plasma and Martin Gräßlin.
Changes
-------
Added plasma as reviewers.
Bugs: 292566
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292566
Repository: kde-workspace
Description
-------
I'm reopening this review request as I have updated this Window Switcher for Plasma \
5.1 and would like to get another review to check if there are any suggestions or \
issues regarding the port to the new API.
Secondly I would like to ask again to have this Window Switcher Layout included in \
the KWin repository. I would prefer it if users could obtain this layout from their \
trusted distributors and did not have to rely on an unverifyable third party download \
to obtain this plugin.
As suggested in the original review I've put this up on kde-look and recieved some \
positive feedback. But I really feel that it is rotting away there and that KDE-Look \
is not a good place to distribute executable plugins.
IMHO the approach of this Window Switcher is different enough from the others \
included in KWin to be a useful addition to the fold. Especially as this behavior is \
already familiar to KDE users from some versions < 4.6
It should also be close enough to the other layouts like thumbnails to keep \
maintenance very similar (I've mostly looked at the changes made to thumbnails to \
adapt this for Plasma 5)
Original description:
This Layout tries to mimic some of the old KDE 4.6 tabbox behavior and layout, it \
scales the thumbnails shown in the tabbox to avoid scrolling. There are also three \
different states in this layout depending on the size of the scaled thumbnails to \
provide appropriate information even when there are many opened windows.
States:
1. Thumbnails are larger then 200px: Show the Title and the Icon of the Window \
directly below the thumbnail. 2. Thumbnails are between 200px and 64px: Thumbnails \
are shown together with the icon but only the title of the currently selected window \
is shown. 3. Thumbnails would be smaller then 64px: Only the Icons of the windows are \
shown and the title of the currently selected window (like big icons) If the \
Thumbnails would be smaller then 32px the tabbox starts to scroll in the Icon Only \
state.
Size of the thumbnails depends on the screen size and the number of opened windows.
