Thank you! Seems to be the best way to help out, other than tech support here on the forum.
Yep, I have all of my shelves "auto hide" as to reduce clutter. There's no current way iirc to make windows maximize default over the shelf, so its the only way I can read certain things.
Yeah, that would be a real cool one to have animated.....or maybe it would kill the magick.
Albeit, in reality I'm not really a fan of my wallpaper moving and pulling my eye ....... as a lockscreen or screensaver OTH.
Yep so do I but it's hard to place them so as they don't get in the way when popping up i.e blocking access to functions in another widget under it.
I'm now trying out the pager "bottom right" opposed to "top left or middle" which annoys me when I i.e want close the widget I'm using or access a widget's functions in "fullscreen" mode.
I've now put the bar to left "unity/gnome style" and auto hiding it.
This way the icon of the open window on the top doesn't get blocked or covered either.
Go to Settings > Settings panel > Windows > Window geometry > Maximization but there is Resistance, where you can (un)check "resist obstacles" In Maximization you can select "fullscreen"
The combination if I understand it correctly will allow fullscreen windows to overlap shelves
The behavior should be carried over to E24 (I am on e17)
