Bug ID: 507709 Summary: [Feature Request] Option to Use a Slim Bar Design for the "Show Desktop" Widget Classification: Plasma Product: plasmashell Version First master Reported In: Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: Show Desktop/Minimize All widgets Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: brandowlu...@gmail.com Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY Currently, the "Show Desktop" widget in KDE appears as a small square button by default. While functional, the square design can feel visually disconnected from the overall panel aesthetic and is often considered less elegant. Many users familiar with Windows are accustomed to a subtle bar-style button, which blends seamlessly into the panel while remaining easy to access. Proposal: Introduce an alternative default style for the "Show Desktop" widget: a slim vertical bar that integrates naturally with the panel edge. Provide a settings option to switch between the current square design and the new bar design, so users can choose according to preference. Consider making the bar design the default for new installations, as it offers a cleaner and more modern appearance. Benefits: Improves visual consistency with the panel and reduces the “boxy” feel of the square button. Enhances appeal for new users coming from Windows, where a slim bar is the familiar standard. Offers a modernized aesthetic that aligns with KDE’s reputation for flexibility and elegance. Preserves user choice by keeping the current square option available. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
