[opensuse] kde4 - can widgets be "on top" of other windows (like clock, etc..)
Listmates, In kde4 is there a way that widgets can be set to show on top of other windows when you click them? I wouldn't want them "always on top", but when I can just see the corner of the analog clock widget or the forecast, I would like to click them and have them come to the top like other windows. Doable? [[ $ANS == yes ]] && how? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Well, you can't do it with a single one, but you can bring them all to the front temporarily by means of the "show plasma dashboard" button. There's a key combination, too, but I forget what it is. You probably already knew this, but just in case. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Another nifty thing you might now already but I just found out about, is that if you right click the Pager applet and open its settings, you can configure it to show either the desktop (hide all windows) or the widgets (dashboard mode), when you click the currently active desktop on the pager. So you don't have to add the show dashboard/desktop widgets as I have been doing until now.

Now that's pretty handy. I can also just scroll the mouse wheel 1 click and change to an empty desktop or just click on one of the other windows in page and do the same. The old standby "show desktop" work and the cashew. Too bad you can't just click on a widget and get it to come to the top. That would eliminate the delay in hiding and restoring all the windows or switching desktops. I guess I could speed up the hiding or switching by turning off all the animation and desktop effect, but that would defeat most of kde4. Oh well, maybe somebody will add the ability to bring widgets to the top later. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
