Description Alex Radu 2003-06-21 06:37:48 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

It would be a good idea to have as an option to display the name or number of a desktop in the middle of the screen for one or two seconds.This would quickly help you identify the desktop for example whend ragging windows from one to the other.

I think this is already there.
Comment 2 Maksim Orlovich 2003-06-21 17:03:13 UTC 
Yes, it is. The previous bug report for kwin is exactly about that feature, but 
that's a separate issue.
Comment 3 Alex Radu 2003-06-21 19:58:27 UTC 
Oh, it doesen't happen on 3.1... Sorry.

Hi, is this feature supposed to be present? I can't find it on 4.2. It would be really useful.

Thanks.

This is missing in 5.16.5. It would be very helpful to see the desktop name/number during the switch. You get lost and you don't know which desktop is currently displayed.

Open Virtual Desktops KCM and check "Show on-screen display when switching."
