--- Comment #76 from Manuel Geißer <geisse...@gmail.com> --- > There is absolutely nothing constructive or helpful in this bug report. > Closing. No. This is completely wrong (and quite instuling towards the reporters). There have been lots of constructive, reasoned and elaborate comments. I would like to list some of them: > I feel that enlarging the thumbnail under the mouse is a sufficient > indication > of focus, and there is one big argument against graying out: it reduces > thumbnails' visual similarity to the windows they represent. I think this > defeats the purpose of Present Windows, which is to let the user quickly > visually locate the desired window *by what it looks like*. > When the thumbnails are grayed out, the user's brain must perform additional > processing to ungray them for comparing with the image of the desired window > held in memory. > It harms the ability to locate the desired window visually > Dimming as a GUI idiom should be applied to things that are irrelevant to the > task being currently performed by the user. When the user is being tasked > with > examining multiple items and choosing one of them, then ALL the items are > relevant, and dimming must not be applied. > you DON'T dim things that are SPECIFICALLY RELEVANT to user's current > activity, you dim ALL THE OTHER THINGS > Highlighting is of rather minor importance. It is already pretty clear which > window is in focus by the change in size and the mouse cursor. > The darkening, however, is a considerable annoyance to many users > The issue of darkened windows being too hard to distinguish is way more > problematic than the highlighting issue; you really cannot set both on the > same level.

This is not the full reality. Developer's behaviour towards users has not been very respectful, either. Sometimes I have the impression that you don't actually read or don't think about what we are writing - we are merely ignored or silenced. > > **But please, please, please do NOT get the terrible idea of adding a > > dimming effect to the new QML Present Windows.** > Noted.
