--- Comment #438 from Holger <h.kl...@gmx.de> --- Despite some snide remarks, I have no plan or intention, to leave KDE/Plasma - to the contrary, I'm passionate about some "minor" annoyances that in my view fall short of real greatness. Still, being forced to cope with M$-Windows at work, I almost every day lament about the window frames not snapping together - arranging them on the screen just looks ugly, where I can make them easily match perfectly in KDE, no overlap, no ugly gaps, no half hidden window decorations and if I want, pixel-perfect in the middle of the screen and keeping a window on top really stays on top - in addition, I can't think of any KDE-window, that I am not allowed to resize - I can even assign rules to force it the size, I want. In KDE 4 I was playing with a dozen of plasmoids, filling my desktop and even my screensaver. But switching to KDE5, they were just gone and I never bothered, restoring them. So I can basically do without most of them - only the comic returned recently. I think, the idea of activities never hooked me up, because I am often switching tasks and start everything at the same time. Especially the browser is a key part of many activities. But once it is open, any window is fine, to surf to some other topic and e.g. start writing on the bug-tracker in the middle of news articles, that were found because I wanted to look up some vocabulary in a youtube video and opened a new tab for the dictionary and got carried away by pocket suggestions - you know, how this happens. But do I stick this browser-window no in the programming-activity, where I would have a hex-editor at my disposal - wait a minute ... last time I used a hex editor was probably in 2020 - and it was not for programming at all, more like analyzing the content of some broken unplayable *.mp3, that I found out, was internally not *.mp3 at all but some *.wma with digital restriction management encumbered. Virtual desktops work great for me - everything open at ones and still assigned to some spatial distribution like a huge desk, that I sit on all day, to work, to eat, to do crosswords, to do tax refunds, to build model-toys ... stuff gets shunt aside, but usually not completely off. To get to the point of this bug: individual backgrounds would add to the richness of VD, but they will certainly not stop me from using and loving KDE. PS: I totally understand, that developers ignore this bug unless they really have a plan or even some working prototype to fix this. Any speculation on technical details without actually starting to work on them is just futile - it will raise hopes, that it cannot fulfill. And besides after being called names, anyone would run a mile instead of apologizing and slaving away ... There is hardly any conspiracy working in the background - it is more like the effect of setting off a stink-bomb in here. Besides it is hard to speculate about the silent majority - maybe once this is fixed for us, the "other side" will open an equally long debated bug of how to remove all this VD stuff and bring back the "only true great activities" as they used to work in long gone KDE5. Only by then none of the people here will be around to defend, why we loathed activities. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
