Hi

I am trying to find out how to enable or where to get the mod to enable the ability to rotate the screen left-right-up-down via CTRL+SHIFT+F10-F12 (or any macro you setup). They used to have a Cylinder, Sphere and cube type animation and was very kewl.

Please tell me this is still available and just hiding somewhere as an add on....I looked to install from the systemsettings app however could not find them.

Tnx

Bummer!! I just found the reason:

Ref: https://kde.org/announcements/changelog ... .5-5.23.0/

Removed
- Effects: Remove Desktop Cube Animation effect. Commit.
- Effects: Remove Desktop Cube effect. Commit.
- Effects: Remove Cover Switch effect. Commit.
- Effects: Remove Flip Switch effect. Commit.

That bites. That was the slickest lil animation option within KDE/Plasma.

I can re-code it so it is available if someone can tell me who to talk to in RE: to get some info.

The desktop cube has been discontinued a while ago due to the lack of a dedicated developer to maintain it.


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...
