KWin Zoom Plugin: Task Switcher shown correctly
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since i m not blind but visual impaired i need an Magnifier to work with my computer.
For me, KWin does does this job perfectly using Zoom plugin.

I found some issues what i want to type down here.

First of all, the Task switcher is not drawn propperly ( i attacht an screenshot with and without zoom to see the issue)

  • The Window previews are shown relative to the monitor instead of the zoomed screen
  • the window previews are not zoomed ( i assume its an kind of overlay with an different Z axes what makes it "ignored" by the zoom plugin)
  • The selection Area and Background are drawn zoomed and at its right place at the very left of the screen

The window previews should be in place with the background and the selection hilighting (i currently dont see what window gets the focus next, what makes this bug so bad and is the reason for my hight priority)

chempfling triaged this task as High priority.

Task Switcher with zoom

Task Switcher without zoom (to see how it should look like)

this is fixed in most my current KDE Plasma 5.24.x installation
