Use edge insert zones for drag-and-drop reordering, keep drag signal
connections stable across window creation, and consume task-menu tiling
requests through the script settings bridge.
Expose activity placement controls for running tasks in
convergence mode. The dock menu can now move a window to the
current activity, all activities, or a specific activity.
Place a desktop toggle next to Home in the convergence dock and
shift the pager and task focus flow around it. This brings the
upstream show-desktop affordance into SHIFT without adding a new
panel surface.
Surface installed desktop settings modules from the Shell KCM
so convergence users can reach display, networking, sound,
locking, virtual keyboard, and KWin workspace controls from
one place.
Reshape the convergence quick settings into a compact
promoted grid and add Clipboard, Disks & Devices, and a
drawer-hosted System Tray popup.
Retry applet popups when their full representation becomes
ready so the desktop utilities open reliably.
Place a Search button next to Overview and rebalance the dock
center so pager, trash, favourites, and running tasks keep
their spacing in convergence mode.
Expand the dock input region as soon as the reveal animation starts
rather than waiting for it to finish, so the cursor can reach dock
items while the panel is still sliding into view.
Introduce updateInputRegion() and call it from onDockOffsetChanged,
onShouldHideChanged, onActiveChanged, onWidthChanged, and onHeightChanged
so the input region is always consistent with the current state.
While hover-revealing with a maximised window present, switch the
LayerShell exclusion zone from -1 to dockHeight so the window tiles
away from the dock instead of being obscured underneath it.
Reduce the hover dwell timer from a hard-coded 300 ms to
Kirigami.Units.shortDuration so the dock is easier to summon.
Animate dock item sizing and button opacity when toggling convergence
mode so the dock does not snap abruptly between states.
FavouritesBar: promote cell/icon/nav/pager/trash sizing properties to
writable and attach NumberAnimation Behaviors (InOutCubic, longDuration).
Home, Overview, and trash buttons fade in/out with an InOutQuad opacity
Behavior so they appear gradually rather than popping.
Dock overlay (main.qml): introduce an `active` guard property so the
window can be driven by opacity (InOutQuad, shortDuration) rather than
toggling visibility directly. Switch the dockOffset slide easing from
a directional InExpo/OutExpo pair to a single InOutCubic so the motion
feels symmetrical.
StatusBar: smooth the background colour and convergence affordance
transitions.
Expose snapLayoutsEnabled through MobileShellSettings and store it\nin plasmamobilerc.\n\nUse the setting in the Shift snap assist effect eligibility logic\nand add a Convergence KCM switch to control it.\n\nKeep the switch disabled when convergence is off, gaming mode is on,\nor dynamic tiling is enabled so window-placement ownership stays\nconsistent.
Group convergence controls in one place by adding Convergence Mode, Dynamic Tiling, and Auto Hide Panels to the Shell settings page. Move Auto Hide Panels out of General and keep Dynamic Tiling disabled when convergence is off or gaming mode is active.
Show only task actions that make sense for the current window and shell mode. Hide free-geometry actions while dynamic tiling owns window placement, collapse hidden menu rows, and filter virtual desktop destinations.
Move maximize-hover handling into the snap-assist effect so it can use
the actual decoration button geometry. Render the scene below the picker,
anchor layouts near the cursor, and preview the selected zone without a
fullscreen modal surface.
A normal maximize click keeps priority: hover activation requires a
deliberate pause, dismissal starts a short cooldown, and clicks on the
maximize button still toggle maximize while closing the suggestion.
The containment provides HomeScreen instances itself. Mark the QML type
uncreatable to avoid default-construction warnings from the QML type
registration.
When kscreenlockerrc has no greeter wallpaper configured, or still
points at the legacy Next wallpaper, the lockscreen falls back to KDE
default imagery. Seed the greeter wallpaper settings from the installed
SHIFT wallpaper package during Plasma Mobile startup so the lockscreen
uses the fork default consistently.
Link ConfigCore for the startup module so it can read and update
kscreenlockerrc.
qmllint shipped with Qt 6.12 segfaults on the inline component
definition inside RunningAppsPanel.qml, breaking the
suse_tumbleweed_qt612 KDE Invent CI job. Move PanelIconButton out
to a sibling RunningAppsPanelButton.qml so qmllint never has to
parse a UiInlineComponent here.
The extracted file inlines its own colour-mix helper to keep it
self-contained and avoid leaking RunningAppsPanel internals.
Expose dynamicTilingEnabled (default true) on MobileShellSettings,
stored under the General group of plasmamobilerc and re-emitted by
the existing config watcher. shift-tiling extends its activation
guard with this flag and clears the BSP layout when it goes false,
so users can fall back to KWin native quick-tile at will.
Add a quick-settings tile that surfaces the toggle. available is
gated on convergenceModeEnabled and !gamingModeEnabled, so the tile
is hidden on the phone form factor and during gaming sessions.
The decoration QML sandbox has no DBus or kglobalaccel access, so
the Qt.callDBus call from the maximize-button hover Timer was a
silent no-op. Remove the dead Timer, hover state and grid-dot
overlay; the shift-tiling script now polls the cursor over the
title-bar button strip and triggers SHIFT Snap Assist itself.
Also refresh the SPDX header on both decoration files.
Declarative SceneEffect that shows a floating panel of layout
presets (halves, thirds, quadrants). Activated via Meta+Shift+S or
by the shift-tiling script when the cursor hovers the title-bar
controls of the active window for 500 ms.
Clicking a preset assigns the active window to the chosen zone with
the same outer gap used by the BSP engine; remaining zones are shown
as snap-assist drop targets for recently-used windows.
Introduce a declarative KWin script that maintains a binary-space
partition layout per output for normal windows in convergence mode.
New windows are added to the active screen and the layout is
recomputed with 8 px outer and 8 px inner gaps; closed windows are
removed and neighbours expand to fill the freed area.
Windows that fail isTileable (panels, fixed-size dialogs, fullscreen,
xwaylandvideobridge, manually-floated) are left untouched. A 200 ms
deferred-retile timer mirrors the convergentwindows pattern so the
dockSpaceReserver layer-shell exclusive zone is settled before
clientArea is queried.
Dragging a tile and dropping it onto another tile swaps the two slots
in the BSP layout; an outline is drawn on the hovered target as a
visual cue. Drops elsewhere snap the tile back to its original slot
and leave KWin native quick-tile and electric borders untouched.
Keyboard bindings:
Meta+H/J/K/L focus left/down/up/right
Meta+F toggle float on the active window
Meta+T toggle tiling globally
The coloured rectangle that paints over the bottom panel during an
app-launch animation was reset only by a change of
WindowMaximizedTracker.showingWindow. In convergence mode kwinrc
sets Placement=Centered, so launched apps stay non-maximized,
showingWindow never flips and the band remained on the panel
indefinitely.
Restart a 600 ms safety timer whenever the animation is triggered.
When it fires, clear colour and height to zero only if no maximized
or fullscreen window exists, preserving the original mobile reset
path while fixing the convergence one.
Add a KWin decoration package under kwin/decorations and install it
into share/kwin/decorations. The QML theme defines Shift titlebar
colors, button rendering, and maximized border geometry.
Wire the new decorations subdirectory from kwin/CMakeLists.txt.
The header button used list-add icon and hard-coded white backgrounds
that did not match the dark theme. Change icon to configure (it opens
Configure Folio for advanced settings, not add-wallpaper), and use
Kirigami.Theme.backgroundColor for both the header and thumbnail
backgrounds.
When homescreen wallpaper is set, also persist the same image for lockscreen. Add a one-time migration in loadHomescreenSettings() that updates lockscreen when it is unset or still points to legacy Next wallpaper.
Return early in run(window) when the window object is null, deleted, or non-normal before accessing resourceClass. This prevents runtime errors during window lifecycle races.
Introduce shared dock height/reveal constants and use them in folio and taskpanel to keep overlay and exclusion zone aligned. Keep dock backing stationary while only content slides, and add a CTest invariant script to prevent regressions.
Track docked state transitions in KScreenOSDProvider and only snapshot the initial convergence mode when transitioning into docked mode. This restores the previous user preference when outputs drop back to one.
Steam, Lutris, and Heroic filter tabs in the Game Center are now
only shown when those launchers are detected on the system. Detection
checks the native executable, known Flatpak data directories, and
standard data paths. The tab bar shrinks accordingly.
On a zwlr_layer_shell surface the compositor does not send the
window's screen position back to the client, so mapToGlobal
returns dock-local coordinates instead of screen-absolute ones.
Compute position from screen.virtualX + targetDelegate.x directly;
the dock is full-width and bottom-anchored so no global mapping
is needed.
Right-clicking the desktop or dock background opened the mobile
settings overlay, which is a long-press gesture for touchscreens.
In convergence mode show a popup menu instead with three items:
Desktop and Wallpaper, Add Widgets, and Configure Desktop.
Long-press still opens the settings overlay on all form factors.
Show a trash icon to the left of the Overview button in convergence
mode. The icon toggles between user-trash and user-trash-full by
watching ~/.local/share/Trash/files via FolderListModel.
Left-click opens the trash in the default file manager via
Qt.openUrlExternally("trash:/"), making the feature file-manager-
agnostic. Right-click offers "Open Trash" and "Empty Trash"; the
latter shows a confirmation dialog before invoking KIO.Trash via
D-Bus.
The right wing of the virtual-desktop pager shifts left to make
room for the trash button.
Show compact numbered desktop buttons in the dock bar when two or
more virtual desktops exist. The buttons are split symmetrically
to the left and right of the centred app-icon cluster, matching
Plasma Desktop pager behaviour.
Click a button to switch desktops. Drag a running-task icon from
the dock and release it over a desktop button to move that window
to the target desktop. Right-click a task icon for a "Move to …"
submenu when the pager is visible.
The feature is a no-op on single-desktop sessions.
SHIFT now ships its own wallpaper package; remove
breeze6-wallpapers and plasma6-workspace-wallpapers from the
runtime dependency list in HACKING.md. Add .preview-data/ to
.gitignore.
Add a wallpapers/SHIFT package with light and dark images. Set
Image=SHIFT in the look-and-feel defaults.
Plasma's org.kde.image backend requires a directory URL, not a
bare package ID, when writing Image= in a layout.js. Use
configure_file to stamp the resolved KDE_INSTALL_WALLPAPERDIR
path into the installed layout.js at build time.
Update the package ID in metadata.json, the translation catalog
name in Messages.sh, the compile-time default in envmanager, and
the test suite --lookandfeel flag. Rename the 41 .po files from
the old org.kde.breeze.mobile catalog name.
Show running windows in the app drawer with previews, window
actions, and virtual desktop controls. Hide dock task icons while
the panel is open so the same windows are not duplicated.
Use TaskManager to move windows between desktops, and expose
desktop activation through the containment.
