RFC: Use Grid as default for KWin's Presnt windows effect

[Andres Betts]

Maybe another thing that could help in the case of having a ton of windows is to actually have them all be presented and not shaded. So not making all of them be dark and only lighten up the one where the cursor is over.

Maybe in the VDG we could come up with some ideas. You could post it there if you wanted extra input.

My only objection to that is that the grid will end up making the each window generally smaller until it could be hard to know what window represents what content. There are other methods that could be used for that, like stacking similar windows close together, or having really good typography to name each window.

Well if you have /that/ many windows, I think neither setting for that effect
will be good enough :) But I tried with 16 windows on my 1920x1200 and
I can still make out very well what's what --> http://paste.opensuse.org/images/4207e18f.png

There are also still the text labels over the window, so if you cannot tell
a window by the thumb size, you can just read it (that imo works well).
