I like the Compact task switcher, but it's a bit too compact for my taste, and I would prefer larger icons. Informative gives nice size, but it's hard to distinguish non-selected windows since the icons are all greyed out, which is weird for a task switcher where the goal is to look ahead to select non-selected windows.

Is it possible to hack a file to get the desired effect I'm after?

Hi, I was after the same effect and found this page via google!

It's actually easy. Edit the file

Code: Select all

/usr/share/kwin/tabbox/informative/contents/ui/main.qml

comment out the existing line (top) and replace with the line on the bottom:

Code: Select all

//state: index == listView.currentIndex ? QIconItem.ActiveState : QIconItem.DisabledState
state: QIconItem.ActiveState // always active -> always colored!
