Description Alex 2010-04-30 20:20:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

It would be cool to have an effect, where i can transform windows (resize, trapez), so they are still clickable. I want i.e. to resize a browser, so it does not take as much space as usual, but i can still use it like any other application. This should be possible with compositing effects?

at the moment there is nothing we can do about it and when we are on Wayland we will add it just because we can do so :-) This means it is a wontfix for the current time.
