It is very inconvenient to use the dashboard without panels, also inconvenient to close it on the small icon. As a workaround, I propose to show the panels on dashboard and so you can use the "show dashboard" for opening and closing dashboard.

I am sorry, could you please post an explanation. I do not understand what the picture is showing or what the request is.

Also keep in mind that some users don't have any panels.

If I am understanding right, there are two requests:

1. An option to show the panel in dashboard mode
2. An option to restrict the dashboard to a portion of the screen.

If so, these are substantially different requests with very different levels of complexity and, in my opinion, very different probabilities of being implemented (1 is much more likely in my opinion). So it would be better to split them into two separate ideas.

I agree. A few hours later will clarify the idea, now I sleep.

Totally agree that closing the dashboard is not convenient and lack of tweakability appears to go against the KDE spirit.

You've got my vote :)

I agree that panels should be visible and clickable in dashboard mode. Vote up :)

Well, I'd say the "show panels in Dashboard" should be an option, because I don't want to see them on my dashboard (small screen !! => wasted space)

The dashboard plasmoid is a good idea, but it must not replace the active corner action "show dashboard" :)
