Plasmabar not auto-hiding #48

Open RedEtherbloom opened 10 months ago

RedEtherbloom commented 10 months ago

The plasmabar never hides due to inactivity, in turn constantly blocking part of my small screen.

The visibility is set to auto-hide, a fresh KDE installation didn't fix it either.

System is Arch Linux, KDE version is 5.27.9, i3 version is 4.23. i3+KDE is setup according to Option 2: New XSession.

Is plasmabars auto-hide functionality actually dependent on some feature of KWin? I iirc could not find any DBus Message instructing plasmabar to hide, in a pure KDE setup.

Any ideas of how I could manually trigger the hide functionality? I couldn't find plasmabars source code, so I've run out of ideas what else I could try.
