Add "At least one shown window is maximized" option #8

Open Kevadroz opened 5 months ago

Kevadroz commented 5 months ago

This plasmoid is often used in conjunction with borderless maximized windows, where a panel acts as a sort of replacement for the titlebar, so an option to always target the topmost visible maximized window would be a nice addition.

Not sure how to handle "always on top" and "always behind" windows.

I'm currently using this plasmoid exactly as you've described:

By "an option to always target [the topmost visible maximized window]", did you mean the maximized window regardless of whether it is active or not?

Kevadroz commented 5 months ago

I meant that if there's a (not maximized) window on top of the maximized one, regardless if that window is active or not the applet targets said maximized window

For example if you have a maximized browser open and you open a file manager that's not maximized the buttons still target the browser, but if you maximize the file manager now the buttons target the file manager.

We probably are on the same page, anyways.

Cool I've got your point, will add that if I find spare time :)

If you choose to handle this case, maybe you could give priority to the active window and target it if it's maximized, regardless of what is above it.
