SUMMARY I would like a option to just set latte to not take desktop effect target from the mouse When latte is not running the effect targets the mouse cursor, i should be able deiced if i want latte to change this. I fully agree that the current behavior should be default as i would think most dock users are replacing there panel/taskmanger with the dock STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable desktop effects (squash/magic lamp) 2. Latte takes the target of the effect even when you click the panel/task manager OBSERVED RESULT Latte takes the target of the effect even when you click the panel/task manager EXPECTED RESULT If i click on the normal panel/task manager the effect targets the panel not the dock on another monitor SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.16.0-051600-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Radeon RX 580 Series ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
You just want a desktop effect that works that way. Taskmanager must publish its windows geometries. Effects can decide differently.
I am just asking for a way to have the dock exist and not take it from the system default, i want to be able to opt out of latte changing/taking it it

So you are saying that kwin actively looks for latte and changes it's behavior rather than latty requesting it be changed?
(In reply to pqwoerituytrueiwoq from comment #4) > So you are saying that kwin actively looks for latte and changes it's > behavior rather than latty requesting it be changed? no I am saying that all taskmanagers provide to kwin the information of their minimized windows geometry. What KWin does with that information is out of taskmanagers responsibility. KWin Effects can decide to animate minimized windows based on these geometries or not or to whatever they want to.
