saturnian Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Still can't have different wallpapers on different virtual desktops in Plasma 5. See: https://bugs.kde.org...g.cgi?id=343246 I have KDE Plasma 5 in openSUSE 42.2, but I'm hanging on to plasma-desktop 4.11.x in Debian Jessie, mainly because of the above issue. Although I enjoy using various DEs and WMs, I've run KDE ever since I started out with Linux, and being able to have diffefent wallpapers on different desktops has always been one of my favorite things about KDE. Oh, well. I can have different wallpaper setups on different workspaces in Xfce 4.12, and now I can do something similar with LXDE. I probably won't drop KDE, although I wonder if it isn't time to move on. Seems like they took some of the fun out of it. It's still a wonderful desktop environment, all things considered.

raymac46 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Sounds like the Plasma 5 guys have made one wallpaper - multiple desktops a feature rather than a bug. It's not a dealbreaker for me though as I rarely use more than one desktop at a time. I really like Plasma 5 overall - in fact it's the first KDE based desktop I might seriously consider using if I ever reinstall Mageia.

sunrat Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 This is the main bug report for this, not closed but not fixed. There are suggestions it is being worked on so there is still hope! https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341143 There are also several workarounds in the comments. One is a tweak of the slideshow function - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341143#c212 The other uses different activities for each virtual desktop - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341143#c214 It's not a feature that I miss myself as I rarely have enough going on at one time to bother with virtual desktops, let alone activities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
