Description: This theme has been merged upstream into the kdeplasma-addons package. Remove the older version in your home directory: ~/.local/share/kwin/tabbox/thumbnail_grid/ Then install the kdeplasma-addons package if you haven't already to get updates straight from KDE.
Thumbnail + Icon + Caption + Close Button
There are a few other skins like this, but they don't work in KDE 5.5 (Kubuntu 16.04) or later. Note: If you tried an older broken KWin switcher, KWin won't use a skin until it's restarted (logout+login). Even the working skins (like this one) won't work.Last changelog:
v5 - April 18 2019
* Fix focus so arrow keys work in Plasma 5.15+ * Cleanup repo + scripts. * Fix anchor warning spam.
Did you try another skin that was broken beforehand? Or did Alt Tab stop working when you selected this theme? Select another skin, then restart Plasma to fix it.
If it really is this theme is broken, then that is good to know. What Plasma version are you using? If you're using a newer version of Plasma, then Thumbnail Grid (with various fixes) is already installed. Just remove the version installed in your home description as mentioned in the theme description.
this is the ony skin broken, i am on kde, it is integrated, it just, is broken, it only shows a line, i can switch tabs but the UI isn't there, other skins work, the normal thumbnail work
It works after a restart? Did you remove it from the home directory before restarting? Or did you forget to do so?
In any case, make sure /usr/share/kwin/tabbox/thumbnail_grid/ exists, then remove ~/.local/share/kwin/tabbox/thumbnail_grid/ in your home directory.
Sorry, must of missed this comment / email. Rather than doubling the absolute value from 22 to 44. I'll need to scale it by DPI so it works for users with 1x DPI too.
Does this work?
property int captionRowHeight: 22 * units.devicePixelRatio
property int thumbnailWidth: 300 * units.devicePixelRatio
That bug linked in older conversation that was blocking the use of arrow keys: it's fixed!! Please update this so that I can use arrow keys. Then it will be basically perfect for me.
Cheers for a very effective Task switcher!
One feature request is mouse integration. Similar to the ctrl-tab behavior in firefox: hover and click. This would speed up my workflow considerably. Thanks for looking into this.
You can hold Alt, click a window to select it, then release Alt.
It don't preview on hover though, not sure if I'll add that as you need to ignore where the mouse is when the window appears, and only "select" when the mouse has moved a minimum distance.

UPDATE : it works now, i guess the fix is to switch to another one, restart, and switch back?

Thanks for the great Task Switcher. However it doesn't work well with hiDPI screen. Please check this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/77K6Gey.jpg
I doubled the value of captionRowHeight and thumbnailWidth. It looks good now. Thank you.
