Created attachment 162162 [details] Thats all I see SUMMARY I really love the setting "Window placement: Maximized" The only thing I see as a drawback, is that certain apps, who are clearly meant to be launched in its own, small window - not maximized - end up like in my screenshot. The app in discussion is color picker. Could we please provide an exposed list, that lets us set certain apps, to not maximize? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set Window placement to Maximized 2. Open Color Picker 3. OBSERVED RESULT Color picker occupies the whole screen with two gigantic icons. EXPECTED RESULT Color pickers opens normal, as intended by its developer.

You can do this yourself with Window Rules.
Well, sure. Still, some states just make no sense, and users run into those, the second they set to maximized and open one of these apps.
The problem is that KWin can't know what apps work well when maximized and what apps don't. Note that the triggering condition for this bug will become impossible in Plasma 6 because we've removed the "Windowed Widgets" KRunner Runner that lets you open Widgets as windows. Those are designed to be tiny and never make sense to maximize, so that source of this issue will go away.
