Feature request: Unity-like: Show global menu on mouse hover - otherwise: window title #110

Closed saligari closed 6 years ago

saligari commented 6 years ago

screenshot_20171008_215306 Combine the global menu widget with active window control to have the same functionality as Unity; show the menu on mouse hover:

but otherwise have the window title: screenshot_20171008_215334

but the window controls should exist in both cases as shown in the second picture when you have the global menu, you could show only the application icon.

Do you think this is doable?

Not my configuration but I would say this is already possible

saligari commented 6 years ago

@kupiqu really? how so?

kotelnik commented 6 years ago

I have this settings for that - see the screenshots: screenshot_20171008_231544 screenshot_20171008_231606

I don't know if it's only my machine or bug but in Kubuntu 17.10 with both plasma 5.10 and 5.11, active windows control's global menu is broken.

saligari commented 6 years ago

@satishux yes for me it's the same. Enabling the settings as seen above does nothing unfortunately. I'm on debian sid. plasma 5.10

edit: what do you ( @kotelnik ) use? Maybe I should report this as a bug?

For me, everything works fine on the KDE Neon 5.11.2. On hover windows title changes to the global menu.

saligari commented 6 years ago

Yes, unfortunately I hadn't realized there were two different versions and it wasn't the same if you installed it from the store. Even the settings are the same though don't do anything.

I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time, I installed it from github and now everything's great. KDE Neon as well.

Thanks @ChrisP4, had the same issue and your comment helped fixing it. This should be documented somewhere!

Also the build instructions (including the required packages cmake, extra-cmake-modules, plasma-framework-dev, libqt5x11extras5-dev, libsm-dev, qtdeclarative5-dev to be installed) should be written down somewhere.

@FloEdelmann I'm so happy I saved you some time and yes for sure the build instructions should be in the readme for ubuntu derivatives :)
