  • KDE Plasma and grouped-application task switching

    I think this script (demoed here) might be something that you'd want to look into. However, development is paused and I've no idea if it currently works. Still, you might add a link to the script in the bug report and perhaps contact Nate Graham to let him know this exists.
  • 5.24 Overview Button
    3 projects | /r/kdeneon | 8 Feb 2022
    5.24 brought the amazing Overview effect to Plasma, it's beautiful and useful. With Parachute breaking in 5.23 the Overview effect was highly anticipated and now that it's native, a user no longer needs to install a separate Kwin script to get this awesome virtual desktop switcher / window previewer.

    Your answer reminded me of this subject being discussed on the Parachute effect github on this issue.
  • some good looking background on desktop grid like in blur-me with gnome 40 would be awesome
    1 project | /r/kde | 2 Sep 2021
    you can try using parachute, it will show you your desktop wallpaper with blur plus it has more functionality (krunner) and looks better in my opinion. It also works with the compositor turned off https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute

    My fusuma config: I have configured fusuma to move to right virtual desktop on three finger swipe right, left virtual desktop on three finger swipe left, run parachute (MacOS like overview) on three finger swipe up, and show desktop on three finger swipe down. In order to do so, I had to configure KDE shortcuts, parachute automatically adds ctrl+super+d shortcut and if I correctly remember, KDE has meta + d to show desktop by default . My config is as follows:

    All I really wanted was a workspace picker the one in Windows 10, Elementary OS, MacOS, GNOME, and Deepin. I wanted to avoid installing Parachute because just I don't enjoy tweaking my desktop, digging through settings, or troubleshooting; I just want the defaults to work because I couldn't actually get Parachute to work. (Yes, I know what activities are and how they work, but they're not what I'm looking for.)

    No actually I am currently using Fluent Dark Theme withon my desktop pc with a 55" 4k tv as my display with no scaling issues at all. On my 14" laptop I use lightly with layan with both devices I use the full plasma, kvantum and gtk themes. Regardless of the scaling they work perfect. Before that I used the Glass theme in the video's of my previous post. Again everything was stable and smooth. I don't like Breeze personally. I have used Plasma now across two devices for over 5 years. It has always been stable and smooth for me (and many, many others I know). Valve had to change compositor to accommodate there deck UI. Not because of any other reason. It was easier for them to implement their UI on top of Plasma. Valve does contribute to KDE Plasma

    I know only some themes support transparency, I've tried a bunch of them, currently using Layan. There is actually an issue on the Layan repo describing exactly this, but like I said, this is an issue with every transparent-supporting theme I've tried
