Description Cameron Smith 2024-09-29 10:23:30 UTC 
SUMMARY:
On windows 11 (yuck), I recently discovered that it displays:
- faint trail effects on touchscreen swipes
- a very brief translucent circle appears on touchscreen tap (great for verifying a tap event has registered)

I repented and quickly switched back to plasma, but would love to see these features implemented in KDE at some point as they seem very useful (especially for janky touchscreens where seeing confirmation that the touch event has registered is awesome).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Use touchscreen :)


OBSERVED RESULT:
1. See no effects
2. See no options in "effects" to turn on such effects.

EXPECTED RESULT:
1. See no effects by default
2. See option to turn these effects on in "effects"

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux, latest
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version:  6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Please forgive my use of windows ;(

The "touch points" effect is shipped with KWin, but it's disabled by default. Is it what you're searching for?

Errr, yes this is exactly what I was looking for. Don't know how I managed to miss it in effects, my apologies.

Marking as closed.
