Bug ID: 438905
Summary: Icons and texts on top of window previews are too
large
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-window-management
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: geisse...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
First of all, sorry for complaining about Present Windows again.
Secondly, I'd like to express my opinion that the icons and the texts on top of
application window previews are (way) too large. They overlay the acutal
content that users want to see and make it even harder to distinguish between
different windows and to identify the window you want to open, especially if
there are many instances of the same application.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a lot of windows, preferably of the same application, but with
different content shown
2. Trigger the Present Windows effect
OBSERVED RESULT
It will be very hard to quickly distinguish between the different windows,
because a large parts of these will be overlayed by a considerably oversized
icon. This is especially bad for small windows which are almost hidden
completely behind the icon and text. (In addition to the annoying dimming
effect which makes it even harder to identify windows, as outlined by users in
BUG 303438).
**This issue was introduced / made worse with a recent update. Icons have not
been that large and overlaying before.**
EXPECTED RESULT
Icons should be much smaller. Moreover, I would appreciate if they could be
completely disabled or configured to show up in a corner (e. g. bottom left)
rather than in the middle of the application window.

DOS
- Constructive comments
- Undo the enlargement of icon size that has taken place
DONTS
- Fantasising about a rewrite of Present Windows in QML. This leads into
nowhere. We need something that works now, and especially we don't need
disimprovements to software that already has UX issues anyway.
