            Bug ID: 368737
           Summary: [kde5] [User experience] Desktop corner trigger for
                    showing all windows should also darken screen with
                    just a single window
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: jonas at thiem.email

The desktop corner trigger for showing all windows should also darken screen
with just a single window. Using the desktop corner becomes quite an intuitive
action over time about which you don't think so much, so it kind of "happens"
intuitively and I might even use it when there is just a single application
open. However, nothing visually happening at all as a result is then very
irritating and feels very inconsistent.

I understand this was probably meant to be "smart" by not doing anything when
there are no windows to switch between, but I see no obvious benefit in this
supposed smart behavior and it results in inconsistency and possibly even
confusion (for new users trying to test if this functionality is available
similar as seen in GNOME 3) Therefore I think KDE shouldn't be smart here just
for the benefit of being smart when there is no real reason and it is
potentially confusing users.

Therefore, please make the "hot corner" action for seeing all windows on the
desktop always trigger the window overview with darkened desktop & descriptions
over the windows, even when there is just one window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a single window only
2. Move mouse to top-left corner (with the default of show all windows on
desktop hot corner action)


Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Overview is shown in visually the same way as for multiple windows, even for
just a single window
