Right now, there are only two options to adjust the behavior of the plasma panel: always show the panel, or auto-hide the panel. Could we get an option to intelli-hide the panel? Intelli-hide shows the panel when no windows are obstructing the panel, but hides it when a window is maximized or covering the panel; to bring back the panel, the user would put their cursor to the top of the screen to display the panel to launch something. Incredible useful for users like I who use the panel as a dock. This feature mimics the Plank dock behavior. The URL is just a screenshot of my desktop, but I'm trying to show how much space it could save without dealing with the panel auto-hiding all the time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. "Configure Plasma button" that allows users to edit the size and behavior of the panel + adding widgets. 2. Click on "More Settings". 3. Change the Visibility of the Panel to Intellihide Actual Results: No actual results since this feature isn't implemented. Expected Results: The panel intellihides, reclaiming space from the bottom panel and fixing the annoying problem with autohide. A lot of people may say to just use Plank, but I feel the KDE plasma panels has an edge over plank by being able to show notification count, progress bar and general consistency to the desktop.
