I put my workspace switcher on a right-side wide auto-hide panel and want them in at least three rows. But I can’t get more than two. Is this in the spec, is it a bug, or is this a feature request?
I can't reproduce your issue. I set 15 workspaces - 5 rows by 3 columns:
But your idea with auto-hide is great!
Ah I see the problem. With two workspace switchers the configuration is global to the desktop rather than to the switcher instance with a preference I suppose for the first applied.
With only one switcher I get the rows I request.
An issue with the pop-out side panel is that it will occasionally intercept clicks meant for the underlying controls. The panel will hide when you move the cursor to the top edge of the screen, giving access to the controls.
Increasing transparency is helpful.
I haven’t been able to increase the width (height) of the panel as much as I’d like. With autohide, a large panel is not a problem.
