Description Michael D 2017-02-10 21:20:43 UTC

Cover/Flip switch and Breeze work, but most others don't. They sometimes activate properly, but most times nothing shows and the apps are simply switched by alt-tabbing.

Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2017-03-01 17:17:53 UTC

which "other"? KWin does not ship any tabbox themes at all.

Comment 2 Michael D 2017-03-01 18:41:45 UTC

Perhaps I filed this in the wrong spot, but under kcm's task switcher settings under Visualization, there is a large list of themes including cover switch, flip switch, breeze, breeze dark, informative, text only, etc. In a wayland session, nearly none of these themes work except the ones I mentioned earlier.

Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2017-03-01 20:07:16 UTC

Those switchers are technically not part of KWin, they are just addons distributed with kdeplasma-addons. I can confirm that they do not work at all.

Also affecting me with Plasma 5.9.4 and the "Large Icons" Visualisation.

Comment 5 Martin Flöser 2017-04-23 18:27:00 UTC

This should be fixed in latest KWin master. Relevant commit: https://cgit.kde.org/kwin.git/commit/?id=ac08c5ac9d4532b2506c76e8b69249b32d365aa3
