Additionally,
Window Shading is a great way to make sticky windows unobtrusive, while still keeping them top of mind…
Especially true for things like mixers (like pavucontrol) and chat programs.
when i need to reference something in a browser behind my ide, doubleclick on the title-bar is ALWAYS set on ALL my desktops to window shade…
It’s invaluable for everyday GUI tasks.
Sure, this might not be everyone’s experience, but for those that know and use it, it’s a huge miss.
I use it reflexively, all the time.
Window Shading is a great way to:
- get my windows out of my way when I need to context switch (without switching desktops),
- reply to someone in another window on the same desktop (especially little windows like KDEConnect’s SMS, or or Element)
- show or access something on my desktop (icons? widgets?)
- quickly hide the contents of an app from shoulder surfersIt’s far more convenient and flexible than minimizing, or switching desktops.

@troyunrau @cyborganism brother, if I didn’t want 348472759362 options In my Desktop Environment, I’d use GNOME, which only had 3 options.
Fortunately, variety and choice are good for the ecosystem, so it’s nice to have both over-flexible (#KDE♥️), overly-rigid (#GNOME ♥️ on phones and tablets), and every in between (#XFCE4, #Cinnamon, #cosmic, #lxde, et al, ♥️)
May the UX/UI gods bless all of them, honestly.
