From 2dae153558b384ea55c2e6884904e8f595957ba2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nate Graham Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2019 17:14:21 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Improve comprehensibility and consistency of window placement mode names Summary: Right now a few of the window placement modes suffer one or more of the following problems: - Inconsistency between the text shown in the Window Behavior and Window Rules KCMs - Title does not indicate what it does - Awkward wording - Lack of unity in grammatical mood between the different modes This patch fixes these issues by improving the strings and standardizing on the descriptive mood: - Smart -> Minimal Overlapping - Maximizing -> Maximized - Cascade -> Cascaded - Zero-Cornered -> In Top-Left Corner Strings are also unified between the window behavior and window rules KCMs, and docbooks are adjusted accordingly.
