--- Comment #475 from Dominik Kummer <ad...@arkades.org> --- (In reply to Oded Arbel from comment #474) > A. nice! Looks like a feature that people would like. > B. It isn't merged or even accepted yet, so lets wait until then at least. > C. This work doesn't relate at all to handling different virtual desktops I am watching it closely. The feature helps navigating the contextual "tensor" I describe below. Plus I am glad that the development direction (vision) is shared by talented users who actually implement stuff. my goal is to do so as well. but "life so short, thy craft so long to learn" as Chet Ramey rightly quotes. > differently - it is completely orthogonal and uses whatever information the > actual wallpaper plugins in the current containment uses, so if your > wallpaper plugin doesn't support per-virtual desktop configuration, then > this work would not allow you to set different accent colors for different > virtual desktops. So I don't think it applies at all to this issue. It's architecture demands the containment itself to make use of the API as far as I got it. But thats easy as soon as the framework (api) is available. > Same, but this is apparently a feature that people would want to hassle with > - I have a friend (not CCed here) that refuses to consider Plasma until this > feature is implemented. Some people just cannot leave their belief system, even though activities do the job, but unfortunately are not called "virtual desktop" anymore. Its an ideological conflict of semantics I guess. Or I am simply to dumb to get the whole point of virtual desktops. Most probably a misinformation campaign by M$ lol. > Really? How did you set it up?

Can you recommend a tool and explain your setup on > how to get different wallpaper for different virtual desktops on the same > activity? The only usefull purpose of virtual desktops is the extra "dimension" to setup window rules with kwin rules. its a tensor of screen/activity/desktop. so you have an abstract threedimensional space to place your application by context. And I love colors to do so. Without colors I die. It works out of the box. Set up 3 virtual desktop "Research", "Organize", "Process" (its like 3 tabletops/workbenches to put your applications/devices on) Now add 4 activities "Work", "Creative", "Gaming", "Coding". (I image wallpapers a literally workshop wall-paper, to remind me in which "room" I am actually in :D ) Finally craft your own set of Kwin Rules for each Application to use. For example tell Dolphin to forcibly go desktop "Organize", activity "All", screen 3, keyboard shortcut Meta+D. Now everytime you need Dolphin press Meta+D and you will move through this socalled "tensor" into the context "Organize/Any Activity". Meta+XYZ and you are back into your previous task. It is pretty abstract, but try it with shortcuts and you'll see, it feels like pretty natural movement through virtual space. Widgets go by Activity, but I can live with that for sure! I literally had to quit a day job lately because of M$ Windows. I got stomach ache, nightmares, aggression, depression and panic attack after two weeks or so. KDE saved my life! :-D Kind regards -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
