Created attachment 49987 [details] Highlight Window Mockup Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux Many features of Kwin, such as "Highlight Window", "Window Snapping" and when resizing (without showing content) currently use several methods to show where windows are, or where they could be. This proposition is to create a mostly transparent "placeholder" defined by plasma themes that can show where windows are, where they could be, or how large they might become in a unified, elegant manner. Plasma themes without a specific "placeholder" graphic might fall back to a regular plasmoid container. Please see the attachments for mockups. 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=84605 Reproducible: Didn't try
