overview with some plasmoids and windows

Feature Request:
Hide icons and widgets when in overview. They are not clickable, don't show any valuable information there and make navigation harder since plasmoids have the same visual style as KDE apps (see attachment).

This was considered and rejected for being technically infeasible, sorry. Too hard and too many opportunities for new bugs, compared to the potential benefits.
