tekKØNO ONE TOLD ME THE DESKTOP SCROLLS??!! 😭
Holy moley this has blown up 😢
this is broken in Plasma 6 :(
Wild_MasticOh wow. I would have never know since i never put stuff on the desktop permanently, only temporary files.
Zachariaheveryone’s files on the desktop are temporary
it just takes some of us a little longer to get to all of them
Made me cry -1 tears [jk pls dont shoot me]
I just never put anything on it anymore.
It does? Multiple desktops and activities or something else? (Link doesn’t load)
Nah, if you just put the icon lower than usual, it just turns into a scroll-able, I accidentally did this and now Im in love with it lol
In the video: I had 2 files, I proceeded to then use the middle scroll to then scroll to another file at the very bottom of the desktop, and I was able to just scroll up and down like it was a window, not sure if its a bug, but I do NOT want it fixed lol
Thanks.
Works with my plasma6, too. It feels a bit like unintended behaviour. 🙂
It does because it doesnt feel intentional how it starts a new column, but I love it still.
heres a video that actually demonstrates it [a link that should work this time]:

irelephant [he/him]🍭That looks cool, what icon pack do you use?

DYK you can roll the scroll wheel while having the desktop selected to move through virtual desktops.
I did have those set up actually, but this is just too fun I cantttt
I use the same widget to also minimize the windows on my current desktop. Unfortunately the Wallpaper Engine plugin does not recognize them as such to unpause the wallpaper.
EldritchHuh, interesting. I had no idea. Though for the most part I’ve generally come to enjoy the default of generally having no icons on the desktop anymore. All that sort of stuff relegated to a dodging panel.
But that’s also part of why I love KDE and plasma. And use it as my preferred desktop over gnome. The configurability.
SubArcticTundraIt lets you do so many obscure things and I love it. You get treated like you are fully in charge.
_cryptagion [he/him]Because you are fully in charge.
OK I did not know the desktop could do that, that’s actually pretty cool. I assumed you were talking about virtual desktops but I didn’t realise the icon space on the desktop can spill of screen and then be scrolled.
That’s actually pretty useful - could keep some less used links of screen until you want and scroll them back into view
AussiemandeusLess used huh? Right…
Keep the homework folder hidden
penquinI’m 100% confused on what’s going on here! 😂
The desktop is scrolling. Like a webpage.
Wtf, it does I just tried it. Lmao. This is good to hide shit.
I just learnt something
caseyweedermanThat’s dope
wHAT
okay this is cool
wtf I’ve been using this for more than 2 years
ianMy desktop is hidden by all the open apps all the time. Sure you can get there via the file manager, but it’s just another folder. And sure you can deliberately minimise all the apps. But the content is, by default hidden, and not in your face, to be stumbled upon like an inbox. Desktops can only contain closed files, and are a flaw in the UX logic.
No clue what you just said but ok 👍
VisikdeNo flaw. But KDE has a method for users like you (and me) that prefer our desktops empty. I forget what it’s called but you can set your desktop to have no icons and no folders.
Yes. I use that option. But as I rarely see the desktop, hiding any files or folders makes little difference to using Plasma.
Peak KDE moment. It has so many options most will never use.
