What do you mean? Now I am puzzled how to explain this :-) auto-raise off -> windows are _not_ auto-raised auto-raise off -> plasmoids _are_ auto-raised I simply wish for consistency. hum.... plasmoids are not windows! =) > plasmoid should follow the settings for window behaviour
Since when stuff that is clearly not a window should behave like it is?
Plasmoids are not windows, they not even have any relation with them.
And, they even have a quite different look than windows.
You wish for "consistency"? You have it, non-windows don't behave like windows, simple and easy.
Of course they are not windows, but: a) current behaviour is hard-coded b) there is no configuration for widgets c) why user sets for example "auto-raise" off? because it is harder for him/her to work with auto-rise on I could rephrase the wish like this: please provide configurable widget behaviour it's an object model on a canvas, not a windowing system. going that route is a sure pathway to madness for the codebase and interaction. Aaron, but you realize that you force of UI mode _you_ like to all the KDE users.
If auto-raise is the only true way it should be dropped from SS for windows -- after all it is superior to raise-on-demand.
Not irony, but simple consequence. Either user is in control, or KDE is. I don't see any benefit for user if he/she has to struggle in two modes at the same time (and one of the modes is she/he dislikes).
Auto-raise also causes common problems when managing widgets.
And one more thing -- for code (internally) there could be plasmoids, windows. For user there are just objects.
> madness for the codebase and interaction.
One consistent mode is madness? I see madness right now, because object on my desktop behave in two different ways.
