Version: (using KDE 4.3.3) Installed from: I Don't Know If you have a lot of windows open, present windows makes them very small. I think it would be useful that when you hover your mouse over a window for a moment, the window grows larger so you can see its contents better. This feature request was originally submitted through KDE Brainstorm, and has been submitted to Bugzilla due to popular demand. Original idea: http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php?mode=idea&i=61608
This is a nice idea and easy to implement. The windows are scaled and so all that is needed is to undo the scaling and to adjust the tranlation accordingly. The mouse move events are checked and a timer could be used to wait some time till the user stoped to move the mouse and hovers on a window.
