SUMMARY
Hi All,
I am a Linux Deepin User ... as you may already know Deepin has moved to kwinWM
from its previous mutter based WM ... the older Deepin's mutter based WM was on
hell of an elegant UI ... having moved to kwin i feel kwin is really big and
has a lot of features ... but quite far from elegance.
Elegance depends on proportions to relative items in the view ...
I am writing this thread as a Feature Request to try and suggest some subtle
changes to the existing setup/implementation in kwin so we can take these
implementation closer towards elegance.
Currently I use the 'Pager' as the layout mode ... the virtual
desktops(workspaces) previews are aligned center verticall and horizontally and
span across the width of the screen.
Feature 1 :
If we had an option to change the desktop preview frame sizes(as a whole pager
strip ... not as an individual desktop thumbnail ) preferably on a percentage
basis with regard to the width of the monitor ... it would give more control to
the user which will be good for them and can play around with the right
proportion wrt to their screen sizes.
Feature 2 :
further to the above size modification feature an option to play around with
the distance between the individual desktop preview thumbnail will further help
us improve the aesthetics of the layout.
Feature 3 :
Once the above option to increase/decrease the pager strip size and the option
to change the spacing between individual desktop preview thumbnails is in place
... you could provide another option to postion this pager strip at the top /
bottom ... and the option to position it on the / right / left of the screen
can have a stacked arrangement instead of a strip
Feature 4 :
the rest of the real estate which gets freed up as a result of the above
implementation can be used to display "Present windows" of the active desktop
where we can move between them and activate them.
The above arrangment will give a very simple and elegant look and UI for us to
navigate bewteen the workspaces and the windows in each one of them ... This is
exactly
