Make title bar bigger in present mode

Wed Mar 14, 2012 10:03 pm
Present windows is a very nice looking way of manipulating your windows. However now it pops up a big red X with a surrounding square to close windows in present mode.

I Suggest that instead of doing this just make the titlebar large enough to be clickable and enable the buttons on the window decoration to manipulate the window **ONLY WHEN WINDOWS ARE IN PRESENT MODE.

** EDIT **
I think i was giving the impression that titlebars should be permanently bigger. This is not the case. titlebars must only be bigger in present mode!

Well, the current solution is not beautiful, but it is big and easy to point on. In the title bar one focus is to save space, so that those buttons are usually much smaller.

One possible improvement would be to use the layout from krunner. In detail I'm referring to the krunner v4.7.4 (I guess 4.8 is same) free floating window. The corners are sharp (fits to the sharp rectangular windows) and it has the flat button style. What is the best close icon has to be decided separately.

The idea is in essense to replace the title bars with fat versions of themselves in present mode. So in essence it could look like krunner, which has a nice fat close button.
