--- Comment #485 from Oded Arbel <o...@geek.co.il> --- (In reply to Cedric from comment #484) > I really don't get this "activities vs virtual desktops" debate. I don't see > why virtual desktops (meaning different desktops with different widgets and > wallpapers) couldn't exist within activities. I think the same - the existence of activities doesn't negate the existence of virtual desktops, and fortunately - both exist at the same time in Plasma. > To me it's a lazy excuse from > devs to not bring back the feature we ask for. I don't understand where this notion has come from - no KDE developer has ever said "activities is the replacement for per-virtual-desktop-wallpaper". The worst is that maybe someone suggested that some fraction of people who would like different wallpapers for different work areas could find activities as a useful workflow instead of this feature. > Personally I use activities and I don't want (and I'm pretty sure that I > don't need) to have to choose. Same here 👍👍 > But IMO I think that the main blocker right now for this feature to come > back is developers ego. "we knwo what's good for you! Use activities"... Again, no one said that. I'd wish people would let that go - activities was not meant as a replacement for per-desktop wallpaper, it was created as its own unique thing that is a distinctive KDE feature and is very useful for some people, and the fact that KDE 5 both introduce activities and dropped per-desktop wallpapers is completely coincidental - these two changes just happened together in a huge version that made a lot of other changes as well. Finally, this is your yearly reminder: if you want KDE to bring back per-virtual-dekstop wallpapers, and you can't do the work yourself - there's a bounty that is still open to encourage developers to work on this. See comment #367 and here: https://app.bountysource.com/issues/92875316-bring-back-per-virtual-desktop-wallpapers . It is currently at $185 and if you can donate to make this bounty more attractive, please do so (full disclosure - I am such a supporter). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
