--- Comment #271 from loop...@gmail.com --- Created attachment 112934 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=112934&action=edit kwin script js to map desktops to activities. CHANGE activity ids to those you get at step 3) Finally succumbed to system updates and had to upgrade to kde 5*. As immagined, this bug, which is among the most followed ones on this bug tracker, is still here. I managed somehow to emulate essentially the whole kde4 behavior, save for a minor visual glitch while switching desktops. This is what I did: ------- Scope and features: -Multiple virtual desktops with separate widgets and backgrounds -Use of standard virtual desktops pager -Moving windows to other virtual desktops through screen border, pager and key shortcuts How it works: -there is a 1 to 1 mapping of activities an desktops -each time a desktop changes, a kwin script changes the activity automatically -windows are set to be in all activities, so a window can be moved while the underlying activity changes Issues: -when switching desktops, especially first time in a session, there is a short switch time between activities How to do it: 1) Create the number of desktops you want 2) create the same number of activities 3) Get the ids of the created activities: $ qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities ListActivities 4) Create a kwin script that changes the activity of each desktop to a different activity id. Check the attachment for an example. To learn how to create a kwin script from a js file, check: https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/KWin/Scripting#Packaging_KWin_Scripts 5) Add the script in systemsettings->Window Management->Kwin Scripts 6) In systemsettings->Window Management->Window rules, add a new rule for all windows, and in "Size&Position" set "Activity" to "Apply Initially" and "All activities" -) Now you can setup each desktop as desired. Todo: Create an actual kwin script an upload it on the official website. I may do this in a few days after some deadlines. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
