But now for the BIG question: do you know of any "blog", whatever, which will give 'Masta-Plasma' to have a different wallpaper for different desktops just like in KDE4?
It's not possible (yet?). https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341143
Strictly speaking it never was possible in KDE4 either, but that had an option to use a separate activity on each virtual desktop, with its own wallpaper. That option has been removed because it complicated things and caused hard to debug/fix problems AIUI.
I'm sorry, but that is not entirely correct. I haven't used this option for a while (my desktops are so full that I can't see the wallpaper!) but I've just tested it and have changed the wallpapers on two of my desktops. I don't use different activities on this machine as switching activities is less easy than switching desktops. [The following comments were written before I read the bug report. Another variation on my part of "if all else fails, read the instructions!"] First of all, I've found that it's necessary to select "Virtual Desktops", either by right-clicking on the desktops on the task-bar and picking "Pager Settings" or from "System settings"and then "Workspace behavior". In "Desktops" tab, you need to tick the box "Different widgets for each desktop". I'm pretty sure that this malarkey that I've just described wasn't necessary in earlier versions of openSUSE though I've checked 13.1 and verified that it is needed there. Once that is done just right-click on the desktop and select "Default Desktop Settings". Then right-click on the top of the window, select "move to desktop" and check that it's on the correct one, it may be defaulted to "all". Select the wallpaper and apply. Now, the reason that this doesn't work in Plasma5 could be that someone seems to have removed the "Different widgets for each desktop" box. This means that any wallpaper changes apply to all desktops. I should add that "Virtual desktops" configuration is no longer available via "pager settings". -- Graham Davis, Bracknell, Berks. openSUSE 13.2 (64-bit); KDE 4.14.9; AMD Phenom II X2 550 Processor; Kernel: 4.2.4; Video: nVidia GeForce 210 (Driver: nouveau); Sound: ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
