Description KDE Brainstorm Submissions 2009-11-20 00:19:56 UTC

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

Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2009-11-22 23:58:59 UTC

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.
