Description Etienne 2022-11-04 10:28:32 UTC 
SUMMARY
I find the default "show desktop" effects not really matching with the magic lamp minimize effect and I think that it could be a nice addition to have the option to launch the magic lamp effect on all opened windows when showing desktop.
I don't know if applying the magic lamp effect on all windows could make the system lag but I hope it could be implemented without issue.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: kernel 6.0.6-arch1-1 (x64)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7

If you want that, you can simply use the "Minimize all" widget/action which plays the minimize animation when activated. That will use the Magic Lamp effect when you activate it.
Comment 2 Etienne 2022-11-04 19:09:07 UTC 
   I tried it on my computer and it doesn't use the magic lamp effect, it
   does the same as meta+D. All of the windows are just going in the
   corners to show me my desktop.

Then it would appear you haven't successfully used the "Minimize All" widget or global shortcut.
Comment 4 Etienne 2022-11-04 19:23:39 UTC 
   Thanks a lot, I finally understand how to set this up. I really think
   that this should be in the effect panel with other "show desktop"
   effects. It's quite strange to add a widget only to add a shortcut to
   show desktop.
   I didn't even find a way to keep this shortcut and removing the
   widget. There is no shortcut for "minimize all windows" in the global
   settings.

It's in System Settings > Shortcuts > Kwin > "MinimizeAll". Its default shortcut is Meta+Shift+D.
Comment 6 Etienne 2022-11-04 19:45:23 UTC 
   It's really weird because I don't see this option. I even tried to
   change my system language to English but nothing shows up in the
   shortcut settings when I search for "minimize" or "all". I searched it
   manually and it's not there either.
