[FEATURE] Intellihide #117

Open JE-Amouel opened 3 months ago

JE-Amouel commented 3 months ago

HI, Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. it's not related to any problem, it's just a question of accessibility,

It's just that I find that the dash mode would be a bit more complete if we could have an intellihide style option, just I would like to be able to see the dash when there is no window overlapping it.

as now I use dash as a launcher, a taskbar and much more, I was even able to uninstall dash to panel and fully use aatws as a dock and a panel, there is however this option which I am missing a little.

Describe the solution you'd like it would be nice if by default the aatws dash always remained visible, and only when an opened window overlap on its position, could the aatws dash be able to hide.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context

this is the current stat of my aatws dash. Screenshot from Screencast from 2024-08-17 06-10-03 mp4

THANKS.

Hello! The problem is that AATWS is a popup window that grabs all mouse and keyboard input. Therefore you can't interact with windows and Shell while AATWS is on the screen.

Sorry for the time it took me to respond.

would it still be possible to make the hot edge of the dock active in overview mode?

the fact is that I would like the AWS dock to be accessible in all circumstances, in general when I open the arcmenu application menu from the aatws dock, the menu opens but just after the aatws dock it closes, and the only way to access it again is to close the menu.

AcrcMenu works in modal window mode, just like AATWS, which means that when its menu is open, it controls all input.

JE-Amouel commented 2 months ago

If I understand correctly, there is no way to make two modal windows co-exist?

G-dH commented 2 months ago

The windows can be on the screen together, but only the most recently displayed one can be used.

JE-Amouel commented 2 months ago

I think it would have been really nice if we could use the AAtws dock with an intelli-hide option, like a regular dock,

I think forcing a concurrent display between modal windows to mimic dock behavior in intelli-hide mode,... I think it's not a good idea to do that.

Although not having intelli-hide the current behavior of AAtws in Dock mode is clean and elegant.

Wouldn't it be better for you to use a real dock?

And sorry for not responding to this:

It was actually possible before I fixed one of your issues :) Edit: But maybe I disabled the hot edge trigger in the overview before because I found it annoying...

I understand you.

make one, I'll use it :wink: but, seriously, it so handy to get a tool like AATWS it's just do everything right. the design is just perfect :100: .

JE-Amouel commented 2 months ago

There are only two features left that I would like to tell you about (in the near future I will tell you about them) to make it even more than productive.

Thanks, I'm curious :)
