I’m struggling to replicate some window behavior I’m used to (from Windows) on a new install. Does anyone have any insight?

My goal is to play a game full screen but still be able to pin windows above it.

If a game is set to Full Screen, “Keep Above Others” doesn’t work.

If I run a game Full Screen (Windowed), it keeps the taskbar visible and gives me cropped resolution options.

The only way I’ve found that works is manually configuring each window property to turn off the title bar, set a fixed position, and a minimum resolution. And also setting the taskbar to Auto Hide.

I don’t want to manually configure every game (which often requires restarting it multiple times). I don’t want my taskbar to Auto Hide. And I want it to be hidden until I alt+tab or press the start key.

Is this possible?

    sounds exactly the same, only thing would be to test maybe if you can get the focus to work out of game with something like a browser, kate, dolphin to make sure it’s not just kwin not working and has something to do with game config/proton/whatever you’re overlaying? only thing i can think that’s not standard for me is my taskbar is set to dodge Windows for visibility
