I think this is a reasonable request. Here's a patch that fixes this: https://phabricator.kde.org/D25952 Thank you Nate. You're welcome! I'm afraid my patch was rejected. :( However you can get this behavior yourself by opening /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/ToolTipWindowMouseArea.qml on your system and removing "rootTask.hideToolTipTemporarily();". This will get reset every time you upgrade. But at least you'll have a path forward to get the behavior you want for yourself. Definetely I'll do. I suppose "they" doesn't even use two or more Konsole windows. They all look same, black with some text. So when you are searching the right session, You just can't guess it by thumbnails, that's why. Another resolution of this would be temporary bringing hovered window to the front, to see it in full.

In fact that's already an option: Configure Task Manager > Appearance > Highlight windows when hovering over tasks. Yes, have you tried it? It makes my eyes hurt :) It is a hard-to understand almost-translucent windows mix. I'll just patch my files, thanks. >They all look same, black with some text.

Oh, it's always better to lead with the underlying reason for a request. I have a far better time relating to it. It's not that you're opening N windows, it's that you want to have a better way to find which of N you want! Makes much more sense.
We've had some thoughts on exposing "custom thumbnails" in the past.
(like we do for media controls, which should album artwork instead of the preview). I'll bear this konsole case in mind moving forwards.
With Konsole - yes. But with Doplhin, when I need to copy one file to another window, I want to bring two windows at once. |
