Description anh.chick 2009-02-23 18:38:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Now that Kwin as compositing capability, it would be nice to have the pager plasmoid display live miniatures of the virtual desktop.

This report IMHO is related to whish 161809.

The live preview should also work on tooltip showing all desktops enlarged.

This feature would be awesome. And it should not be that complicated to implement.
Comment 4 dE 2011-10-21 15:36:41 UTC
To add to it -- initially the preview will be small, but if you move the mouse over the preview, it'll enlarge, then you may select the window that you want to focus directly.

There should also be an option to list the windows instead of showing their actual state of the desktop.

However, a similar feature has already been in KDE.

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
