Auto-hide configuration of the dock in one or multi screens is too powerful #105

Hi,

In 'Visibility' with 'auto-hide' option actived the dock is hidden when a windows is activ whatever the size of the latter, whether the window covers it or not, even on a second screen or the dock is absent.

Have you any solution to resolve this problem ?

Hi,

It should behave the same as a Plasma panel. Is it the case for you?

Thanks,

Hello,

The auto-hide option is interesting, but you still have to move the cursor to the edge where the panel is configured to display it and choose what you want to do, like for a KDE panel.

For me, it is more useful to have the same behavior as for "Windows can cover". The panel is present when no window covers it and hides when the window is full screen or partially covers it. This is the behavior that can be had with Cairo-Dock for example. Your choice corresponds to the behavior of a dock on Mac OS X, without having the possibility to show or hide the dock by a keyboard key combination (cmd-D which could be Window-D).

Would it then be possible to have the same choices as for a KDE panel? That is to say to have the 4 possible choices?

Thank you for the work you have done until today which offers us a very good and beautiful alternative to the removal of Latte-Dock in Plasma 6.
