Open roachsinai opened 5 years ago

roachsinai commented 5 years ago

Hi, could add support for latte dock. Like if I opened two chrome applications, when I point the icon on latte dock, it show two preview windows.

Zren commented 5 years ago

Huh? The Alt+Tab shortcut and "tabbox skin" is managed by KWin. Latte Dock is just a Plasma panel replacement.

Can you take a screenshot using spectacle (with a delay).

Zren commented 5 years ago

And can you test one of the default Alt+Tab themes and see if it affects that as well?

roachsinai commented 5 years ago

Hi, Alt+Tab work very well!

My issue is:

For now I get two window like above screenshot, while I pointing latte dock dolphin icon after I opened two dolphins.

What I want is like windows style:

untitled

I've got like this sometimes, don't know why it worked like defaut now.

lol, my bad painting.

The preview in no need so big like default and on center of screen.

That is a screenshot of the "present windows" desktop effect, not this Alt+Tab skin (https://store.kde.org/p/1153173/). Oh I see, Latte Dock is calling that desktop effects dbus command since it's an easy (and pretty) way to display the windows.

This is a Latte-Dock issue, but you don't need to file a feature request as they already have that feature. Open up the panel settings in Latte > Tasks > Check "Preview windows on hovering". You'll then have the normal "tooltips" on hover.

Latte doesn't show the tooltip on click however, so you might need to ask the Latte dev for that feature.

You can toggle on Advanced mode, then Uncheck: "Group tasks of same application" though to workaround that issue.

Thanks for your reply. I remember I've got that effect that if I click on a application which been opened two windows. But for now it disappear. The Preview windows on hovering setting is also not bad.
