Hi, I'm using kubuntu 12.04 with kde backport PPA 4.9.4.

It could be a kde limitation, but discussing on the IRC chan can't confirm this. So, the problem is, I have 3 activities.

For each activities, I'd like to have no widget on the desktop but a different wallpapers (one wallpaper per activity). BUT I'd like to have a different set of widget on the dashboard per activity!

I mean my activities are, for example, home - work - entertainement.

I'd like to have one wallpaper for each activity (this is ok, i succeed in it)
i want to have on the dashboard and only on the dashboard for home activity my home folder, an analog clock and the weather report
for work activity my working directory, the note widget, and another folder view with file attached to the activity
for my entertainement, a RSS feed reader (like rssnow), and videos and images folder view.

That's just an example to explain the problem I can't have different set of widget on the dashboard for my different activities.

I hope i'm clear enough (i'm not a good english speaker :-( ) . So is it possible to obtain this ? Is it a bug ? A kde llimitation ? thks to reply !

Hi eticre,
Thanks for your reply, i've already try this. I can have different widget for each desktop, but I can't have a different widget set for the dashboard per activity. If i check this option, I only can change the wallpaper and the widget set for the desktops of each activity, but the dashboard is stil the same for every activity :-s

I think this is not currently implemented in Plasma.

You should post the idea to the Brainstorm section or directly to http://bugs.kde.org. I don't think it's very likely to be implemented anytime soon though - as far as I know, the dashboard wasn't really meant to be used that way, and the option to set a separate dashboard was only added due to popular demand from users.

Great! Personally I think it's a good idea, so we can always hope that it'll be implemented. (Also now that I think about it, I may have mixed it up with the "Independent widget set" setting in my previous post.)

Hello. I would like to have this feature inside Plasma. Is there any news about it? Er, I consider that we shouldn't forget vote to attract attention :)
