Labels are gone; each action shows only an icon with a tooltip
on hover, keeping the panel narrow. A user avatar at the bottom
opens User Accounts on click. The shadow is on a backing
Rectangle rather than via layer.enabled, which would rasterize
the panel and blur icons at non-integer scale.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Right-click on a pinned favourite in the dock now shows:
- Launch: opens the app (using its own icon)
- Remove from Dock: existing unpin action, renamed for clarity
The task panel window reserved bottom-edge screen space even
with zero thickness and invisible content. Set its visibility
mode to auto-hide in convergence and force the dock bottom
margin to zero so the favourites bar sits flush at the screen
edge.
Dock buttons, running-app icons, and favourite delegates had no
mouse-over feedback. Add 3-state highlight backgrounds (hover
and press), Kirigami.Icon active state, and tooltips following
existing Plasma patterns. Favourite delegate hover is gated on
convergence mode to avoid overlap with touch press events.
On desktop there is no swipe-down gesture to dismiss the drawer.
Add an X button at the right end of the header row, visible only
in convergence mode, so mouse users have an obvious way to close
the app drawer.
In convergence mode the separate navigation panel is redundant
with window title-bar controls. Remove it by setting its
thickness to zero and visibility to false, then embed Home and
Overview buttons at the left and right ends of the favourites
bar. Running application icons with context menus are shown
between the favourites and the Overview button.
Add HomeScreen::triggerOverview() to invoke the KWin Overview
shortcut over D-Bus so the homescreen containment can open it
without access to the task-panel Plasmoid.
Halve the favourites bar from gridUnit*6 to gridUnit*3 to avoid
oversized dock on desktop screens. Hide the arrow-up icon and
disable the page-indicator tap handler since the app drawer is
now opened via the dedicated Overview button.
In convergence mode the app drawer stays open after launching an
application. Connect to WindowUtil.onWindowCreated and close the
drawer automatically so the user lands on the new window.
Accept Qt.RightButton on the HomeScreenPages and FavouritesBar
MouseAreas and open the settings view (wallpaper/widgets) on
right-click, mirroring the existing long-press behavior for mouse
users.
The home button was a no-op in convergence mode when windows were
visible. Call WindowUtil.minimizeAll() so the home button acts as
show-desktop, preserving the mobile path that also resets homescreen
state before minimizing.
This is exacerbated now that we have device-specific view margins (to
deal with notches and the like), which caused the drag and drop
positions to be wildly inaccurate.
This refactors the homescreen state object to isolate drag & drop from
swipe states, allowing for using proper system-level drag & drop for delegate
movement. This then ports the new applet list to use it.
This switching Folio and Halcyon to define their settings as a
containment config so that it fits in with the other containment
options.
This removes the convoluted maze of nested settings windows due to
wrapping the containment settings with a custom settings window around
it.
This converts many of the animation durations to Kirigami units so that
they can be controlled system wide. It also speeds up several of the
animation durations (ex. in folio) from 800ms to 400ms to improve the
feel and responsiveness of the shell.
