I cant really make an opinion on kde activities as the last time i used it (briefly) was on 4.5 and over a year has passed and we are at 4.7 so might be a good time to try it out again. As far as i can tell the concept is great and would love to start using something like that, but i just cant leave unity.. ;/
Maybe this other concept / mockup might be similar to "sets" or some of the other points being discussed: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/03/how-about-firefox-4s-panorama-like.html ---------------------------------------- > Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2011 18:43:52 +0100 > From: t...@freenet.de > To: ayatana@lists.launchpad.net > Subject: Re: [Ayatana] Are Workspaces the right model? > > On 11/01/2011 06:18 PM, Omar B. wrote: > > Isn't the "sets" idea similar to kde-activities ? > > > > http://maketecheasier.com/use-kde-plasma-activities/2010/09/01 > > > > http://lifehacker.com/5668873/use-kde-activities-to-create-different-desktops-for-work-and-personal-use > > From what I understand without trying out the implementation: no. > > Activities are an addition to the workspace concept, not a replacement. > > An Activity seems to resemble what would be a set that may include a > wallpaper, icons and widgets, but no regular windows. > > > With the desktop treated like a window and multiplied, desktop-windows > could take the roles of Activities.
