Imagine this situation:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Not a single window on a background to just look pretty, but a multitude of windows scattered all around to do actual work.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Window switching by focus-follows-mouse, i.e. a workflow with a lot of overlapping and cascaded windows.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here it is very important from a usability standpoint to tell the windows apart and to get a sense of depth.</p>
<p>Do you know which window is in the front in the following screenshot? I cannot tell:</p>
<p><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/F5429808" style="background-color: #e7e7e7;
border-color: #e7e7e7;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 0 4px;
font-weight: bold;
color: black;text-decoration: none;" rel="noreferrer">F5429808: left.png</a></p>
<p>Here it is much easier:</p>
<p><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/F5429810" style="background-color: #e7e7e7;
border-color: #e7e7e7;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 0 4px;
font-weight: bold;
color: black;text-decoration: none;" rel="noreferrer">F5429810: right.png</a></p>
<p>And here is the full screenshot:</p>
<p><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/F5429813" style="background-color: #e7e7e7;
border-color: #e7e7e7;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 0 4px;
font-weight: bold;
color: black;text-decoration: none;" rel="noreferrer">F5429813: full.png</a></p>
<p>I think Plasma should support a diverse set of workflows, currently I do not feel it is optimal in every case.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R31 Breeze</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D8232" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D8232</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rpelorosso, Breeze, VDG, hpereiradacosta<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>progwolff, mvourlakos, rkflx, ngraham, davidedmundson, mart, plasma-devel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol<br /></div>
