At the moment there is no such option. I would untag it from "wishlist", it is a regression in functionality causing problems either in the Pager or in the Grid View as described. I'm also affected by this regression. I'm on a laptop with a relatively small screen with 4 workspaces in a row. Using the Desktop Grid in Plasma 6 doesn't show the desktops in the most screen space-efficient manner possible, like it did in Plasma 5. As a result, I have trouble seeing what windows are in what workspaces, which wasn't a problem in Plasma 5. I made the discovery that, if you open your Virtual Desktop settings and set, let's go for 4 desktops (works nicely in the Grid, right?) If you then set 4 ROWS. Then you have 4 vertical desktops... which display (IMO) nicely in Overview (but suck in Grid). The vertical desktop arrangement here is actually nicer for navigation for me. If you set 1 ROW, then you have 4 Horizontal desktops... which display worse still in GRID, and not much better in Overview. So we have a Hobsons Choice here. I would suggest 1. Fix the Grid, and make Overview flexible in lining up whatever desktops we have or 2. Fix the Overview and make GRID more flexible. Desktops have names/numbers, so an option to display this - if we assume that mixing up layouts would be in some way 'confusing'. |
