New KWin Switcher

Tue Aug 31, 2010 2:24 am
Something a bit original for an OS, but might be pretty cool. The idea comes from the Metroid Prime 2 Options Menus, view the video below:

Bit hard to see in the video, there wasn't anything better that I could find, but it is essentially a menu that puts objects in a sphere that can be rotated with the control stick on the controller.

To modify this for use on KDE, a hotkey would be pressed to go into a mode similar to the Expose clone. The mouse would rotate this sphere, comprised of windows instead of menu options, by simply moving it in the direction that the window is.

Note that this may not be as efficient as Expose, but would help in situations in which way too many windows are open to be clearly visible on Expose.
