With Latte Dock no longer being maintained, what's another good Dock to use for KDE?
there's a background extension called Vallpaper (not a typo) that can do that also.

KDE users of reddit. What would you say is something you DONT like about kde?
on my current install, activities are worse than worthless. every time I changed activity it reset almost all of my desktop settings and it never remembered anything. I simply wanted to use different wallpapers for each virtual desktop so I installed Vallpaper instead (1.4 because my Plasma is relatively old).

Different desktop backgrounds per virtual desktop in KDE Plasma - script included.
Hi, just wanted to mention this simple script i wrote to allow different desktop backgrounds for different virtual desktops in KDE plasma! I know that this is possible with activities but I miss the ability to lay out different activities in 2d, and the nicer widget (in my opinion) that you get with virtual desktops. Unfortunately Vallpaper seems to be defunct so I went ahead and wrote my own small script.

Guidance on Powersaver Inhibit (a.k.a. Presentation mode) Toggle
So now I'm wondering if there is a way to use a script to "check" the box from the Battery and Brightness widget, since that was already set up in the widget itself, but thus far my detective work (and lack of background here) is failing me.

Avoiding focus stealing on
I'm changing some bits on the mediacontroller plasmoid (for own usage; using MPD and some dbus bridge so it can be used with MPRIS2) so when a new track starts playing, it pops up like the device notifier one does when you plug in a usb stick or something and notifies you about a new device being plugged in and ready for usage.
