Description Jim Jones 2010-12-17 21:05:47 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.85) 
OS:                Linux



Reproducible: Always




this would be a really nice feautre as the feature was intruduced in 4.6 trunk (i think) and it is really useful

I've taken the liberty to reopen this bug report (and avoid a duplicate feature request) since:
* the bug is quite old and marked "resolved intentional" long ago.
* it's a feature that's commonly requested by Desktop Grid users. I could find 2 relatively recent (2021) posts at /r/kde asking for this and other improvements.
* it has been recently by KDE devs that instead of re-implementing Desktop Grid and Present Windows features baked into the new Overview effect "modes", the plan eventually changed to preserve the separate effects, rather than having one mega effect.

Thank you.

Sorry, I clicked save too soon.
Correction: it has been recently decided by KDE devs that, instead of re-implementing features from Desktop Grid and Present Windows effects into into the new Overview effect, the plan eventually changed to preserve the separate effects, rather than having one mega effect.
