The hidden dock's window still covered full height, blocking
toolbar buttons in maximized apps. Reduce the input region to
a thin strip at the screen edge while off-screen and restore
it on reveal. A debounce timer prevents an accidental edge
graze from reopening the dock.
The dock's LayerShell window is transparent; icon labels are
hardcoded white (designed to float over wallpaper on mobile).
A dark semi-transparent fill keeps labels legible on any
wallpaper without coupling to the Plasma theme color.
Shows a narrow card to the right of the app drawer popup with
Lock Screen, Restart, and Shut Down buttons. Uses SessionManagement
from org.kde.plasma.private.sessions directly, the same QML type
Logout.qml already uses. No C++ changes needed. Shares the drawer
open/close animation and dismisses with it.
The full-screen card carousel is touch-oriented and redundant
when a keyboard and mouse are available. In convergence mode,
disable it so KWin falls back to the standard Alt-Tab tabbox.
Window switching is also covered by the dock bar icons and the
Overview effect.
The mobile popup system always anchored to top-center which
looked out of place on a desktop screen. In convergence mode,
position popups at the bottom-right corner and slide them in
from below. Swipe-to-dismiss flips to match (drag down to
dismiss instead of up). Stacked card previews and the popup
drawer tap area are hidden since notifications are already
accessible in the action drawer.
Replace the full-screen slide-down sheet with two fade-in cards
anchored to the top corners. Quick settings sit top-right,
notifications top-left capped at 60% screen height. Background
scrim reduced to 30%. Redundant clock header and status bar
hidden since both are already visible in the top panel.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Sound and Battery behave differently from
toggle tiles: tapping them should open a detail panel, not
flip a switch. On a phone the long-press convention handles
this, but with a mouse long-press is unnatural.
Pull these four tiles out of the grid when convergence mode
is active and show them as full-width rows above the remaining
tiles. Each row has two click zones — a toggle pill on the
left that still switches the service on/off, and a detail
area on the right (name, status, chevron) that opens the
Plasma applet popup. The grid hides the duplicates so they
only appear once.
Long-pressing a mapped quick-settings tile in convergence
mode opens a floating popup with the Plasma applet UI
instead of launching System Settings. Unmapped tiles still
open Settings.
AppletHost creates a standalone Corona to host applets
outside the shell containment tree.
open() alone does not set intendedToBeVisible, so the drawer
immediately closes itself. Call the proper toggle path instead.
Also hide the drag handle since convergence users click.
Desktop users have no visual cue that the top bar opens quick
settings. Fade in a small arrow-down icon at the bottom center
when the mouse hovers, matching the arrow-up hint on the
favourites bar.
Drawer is inside the homescreen, which sits behind windows.
Home button minimized everything to reach it. Render it in
a LayerTop window instead and skip the blanket minimizeAll
in the D-Bus handler.
Dock and space reserver hid unconditionally on maximize.
Gate both on autoHidePanelsEnabled. Make the exclusive zone
constant — dynamic changes on a contentless surface never
get committed to the compositor.
Running task icons in the convergence dock can now be dragged into the favourites section to pin the app at the drop position.
Add indexed insertion to FavouritesModel so pinning can place the new favourite at a specific slot instead of always appending.
Show a placeholder while dragging and reuse the existing addApplication path for the final pin action.
Add the committed touch-mode screenshot asset and reference it in the\nREADME. Clarify the project licensing section so the README\npoints at EUPL-1.2 while preserving upstream file licenses.
REUSE CI requires copyright and license info on every file.
CHANGELOG, README, and the two Shift screenshots are original
work, licensed under EUPL-1.2.
Click-and-drag reordering of favourites bar items in convergence
mode. The existing touch-based press-and-hold drag is kept for
mobile; in convergence mode, press-and-hold opens the context
menu only.
DelegateTouchArea owns the exclusive mouse grab at the C++ level,
so drag detection (threshold crossing + delta signals) is added
there rather than using a QML DragHandler. Displaced items
animate into their new positions while the dragged item follows
the cursor.
Expose FavouritesModel::moveEntry as Q_INVOKABLE so QML can
persist the reorder.
The visible binding on the Pin to Dock menu item called the
imperative containsApplication() without any reactive dependency,
so QML never re-evaluated it after model changes. Add repeater.count
to the binding to force re-evaluation when favourites change.
The status bar was hidden whenever a window was showing because
the fullscreen property evaluated autoHidePanelsEnabled without
checking convergence mode. Return false from fullscreen when
convergence is active so the bar stays on screen.
Use WindowsGoBelow visibility mode in convergence so PanelView
does not manage the exclusive zone (it would fight with the
LayerOverlay layer set by QML). Add a separate layer-shell
surface at LayerBottom with an exclusive zone matching the bar
height, following the same pattern as the dock space reserver.
Re-run setWindowProperties on convergence mode changes.
Switch TasksModel from GroupDisabled to GroupApplications so
multiple windows of the same app share a single dock icon.
Replace the per-task windowCountForTask() helper with the
built-in WinIdList role.
The thumbnail popup now shows a horizontal row of per-window
previews. Clicking a grouped icon toggles the popup instead
of activating a single window. "Close All" replaces the
close action for multi-window groups.
Replace the one-line intro with a clearer project description.
Add a disclaimer clarifying no affiliation with KDE.
Add an upstream relationship section noting this is not a direct
contribution but parts may be proposed upstream.
Slide the dock off-screen when WindowMaximizedTracker reports a
maximized window, and bring it back on mouse proximity via a
HoverHandler. The dockSpaceReserver exclusion zone drops to 0 so
KWin gives the full screen to the maximized window.
Animation follows the StatusBarWrapper pattern: offset property,
Translate transform, Behavior with InExpo/OutExpo easing.
The transparent dock overlay at LayerTop let maximized app content
bleed through, visible as a colored band (e.g. VLC's orange toolbar)
behind the favourites bar.
Add a Rectangle with Kirigami.Theme.backgroundColor using the Window
colorset, matching the pattern used by NavigationPanelComponent.
Right-click a running task icon to pin the app to the dock
favourites bar. Pinned apps show a "Remove from Dock" action.
The dock overlay renders as a LayerTop window so context menus
and the dock itself stay above application windows. Menus use
popupType Window to avoid clipping inside the narrow dock
surface.
When multiple windows of the same application are open, each
dock icon displays a row of dots matching the sibling window
count. The active window's dots are bright; inactive siblings
are dimmed. Single-window apps show one dot as before.
Uses the TasksModel AppId role to count windows sharing the
same application identity.
Add thumbnail preview feature and the three convergence bug
fixes: minimized windows staying in dock, drawer overlay not
covering dock icons, and new-process launch behaviour.
The click-to-dismiss overlay for the app drawer popup
covered the dock, intercepting taps on dock icons. Add a
bottom margin equal to the dock height in convergence mode
so dock icons remain interactive.
filterHidden: true removed minimized windows from the
TasksModel because on Wayland IsHidden maps to IsMinimized.
Set filterHidden to false so minimized apps remain in the
dock and can be restored by tapping their icon.
In phone mode, tapping a running app activates its existing
window. In convergence mode this prevents launching a new
instance of the same application.
Skip activateWindowByStorageId when convergence mode is
enabled so that launchApp is always reached, matching
standard desktop launcher behaviour.
Hovering a running-app icon in the dock shows a live PipeWire
thumbnail of the window via zkde_screencast. Falls back to the
app icon when the stream isn't available. Clicking the thumbnail
activates the window.
Uses a tooltip-type Window so the popup renders above app windows
instead of being clipped to the panel surface.
Add an invisible layer-shell surface with an exclusive zone matching
the dock height. KWin uses this to shrink MaximizeArea so maximized
and tiled windows no longer overlap the dock.
The previous approach of tweaking the nav-panel PanelView was a dead
end: PanelView resets its own surface properties on reconfiguration
and Wayland offers no way to set struts from a KWin script. A
separate surface at LayerBottom with exclusionZone is the intended
protocol mechanism.
Allow dragging windows to screen edges: top edge to maximize,
left/right edges to tile half-screen. These KWin options were
previously always disabled because phone mode has no use for them.
In convergence mode the app drawer appears as a sized popup
anchored above the dock near the Overview button, instead of
taking over the full screen.
- Popup has rounded background, shadow, and clipped content
- Desktop stays visible behind the popup (no scale/fade/blur)
- Click outside the popup dismisses it
- Wallpaper scrim suppressed in convergence mode
- Mobile behavior is unchanged
