Description mbc111 2011-02-06 08:42:44 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

The window highlight feature when hovering over taskbar previews does not show minimized windows. This makes the use of the feature inconsistent. Furthermore, window highlight is most useful - imo - for digging up windows that one has minimized a long time about and forgotten about. I think that the behavior of Windows aero peek should be copied in this regard.

Reproducible: Always

needs just a w->enablePainting(PAINT_DISABLED_BY_MINIMIZE); in prePaintWindow() hook

Patch with desired behavior

I've added a patch which I think will achieve the desired behaviour.

could you please add a review request on reviewboard.kde.org? Patches on bug reports get too easily lost
Comment 4 Thomas Lübking 2011-10-30 11:52:42 UTC 
glimpsed:
a) i guess "isInitiallyHidden" should be used in "::prePaintWindow()" and
b) please correct indention ;-)

Then create a review request, thanks.

seems to be fixed. At least I get previews for minimized windows :-)
